General description

The Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium is a defined serum-free, growth factor-free medium that has been optimized for the growth and in vitro differentiation of neural stem cells derived from rodents. When used in conjunction with bFGF or bFGF, EGF and heparin, the basal medium will allow for the proliferation of rat and mouse neural stem cells, respectively. Withdrawal of the growth factors from the Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium will result in the spontaneous differentiation of rodent neural stem cells.
