Physical form

ENStem-ATM Neural Expansion Medium contains neurobasal medium, B27 supplement, and LIF.

Quality

Each lot of medium is tested for the optimal cell growth and proliferation of ENStem-ATM Human Neural Progenitor Cells.
Sterility Testing: Negative

Storage and Stability

ENStem-ATM Neural Expansion Medium should be stored at -20°C until ready to use. Upon thawing, fresh L-Glutamine (not provided) should be added for a final concentration of 2 mM to the expansion medium. Thawed should be stored at 2-8°C and given a 1-month expiration dating. Dispense into aliquots to avoid repeated heating prior to each use.

FGF-2 (10 µg, lyophilized) should be reconstituted with 100 µL 5 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.6 for a final concentration of 100 µg/mL. Dispense into aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw. Store at -20°C.
