Complete kit for hematopoietic CFU assays.

The Starter Kit for MethoCult™ H4434 Classic (MethoCult™ GF H4434) is recommended for laboratories in the initial stages of establishing procedures for assessing human hematopoietic progenitor cells using colony-forming unit (CFU) assays. These products support the growth of clonogenic hematopoietic progenitor cells from human bone marrow, peripheral blood, cord blood, leukapheresis products, and purified progenitor-enriched cells. H4434 is a complete methylcellulose-based medium that supports the growth of erythroid progenitors (BFU-E and CFU-E), granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM, CFU-G and CFU-M) and multi-potential granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, megakaryocyte progenitors (CFU-GEMM). Each kit contains instructional materials in addition to all reagents and materials necessary to perform 24 duplicate assays.
