KBM Neural Stem Cell Series＋ KBM XB2

Capable of both undifferentiated proliferation and inducing differentiation of NSCs.
(Serum-free medium for Neural stem cells)

KBM Neural Stem Cell

• This medium is specialized for the neurosphere assay which is widely applied research and development regarding neural stem cells (NSCs) and neural cells. By adding KBM Neural Stem Cell Supplement to this medium and proceeding suspension culture, it is capable of culturing NSCs as neurospheres. Cultured neurospheres can produce new neurospheres by dispersing cells and re-culturing. It is also capable of inducing differentiation of NSCs into neural cells by adherent cell cultures of neurospheres, without addition of supplement.
  
  
• A kit based on a test developed by the Japan Fruit Juice Association, detects contamination with Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and related Thermo-acidophilic Bacilli (TAB) by their production of guaiacol.
