Cellartis® MSC Xeno-Free Culture Medium

We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership between TCS Biosciences and Takara Bio, bringing the renowned Cellartis® portfolio directly to researchers across the United Kingdom.

This collaboration strengthens our growing life science offering and provides UK scientists with easier access to Takara Bio's trusted stem cell technologies, supported by the dedicated service and technical expertise you expect from TCS Biosciences.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into neurons, hepatocytes, pancreatic islet cells, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts, both in vivo and in vitro, and their self-renewal capacity is easily lost by long-term culture and excessive passages. Cellartis MSC Xeno-Free Culture Medium provides optimal conditions that enable maintenance of MSC proliferation and multipotency without the need for plate coating reagents. This medium does not contain any animal-derived components. It is also available in a phenol-red-free version and a GMP-grade version.

Cellartis MSC Xeno-Free Culture Medium is suitable for the maintenance and expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or umbilical cord—without plate coating reagents. However, coating cell culture vessels with human fibronectin can further promote proliferation. This xeno-free medium is ideal for cell therapy research applications such as bone/cartilage diseases, bone marrow transplants/GVHD, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, liver disease, and cancer.
