Embryonic stem cells & induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells

Embryonic Stem Cells
Undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells have the potential for unlimited expansion with the retention of normal karyotype and the ability to generate cells of all three germ layers. Because of this ability, the use of embryonic and iPS cells has been proposed in clinical applications, as systems for drug screening and toxicity and as a tool to study cellular and developmental biology. STEMCELL Technologies offers a range of highly specialized cell culture media optimized for maintenance, differentiation and cryopreservation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSC) and human embryonic stem cells (hESC).

Hematopoietic stem & progenitor cells

Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Hematopoietic cells, including hematopoietic stem cells, can be found in a variety of different tissues through development notably the bone marrow and, to a lesser extent, peripheral blood of adults and the umbilical cord blood earlier in development. Regardless of the location, hematopoietic cells consist of a hierarchy of cells. The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) is able to differentiate into all terminally differentiated cells found in the blood. Hematopoietic progenitor cells have reduced differentiation and proliferative capacities. STEMCELL Technologies provides a wide variety of media to expand and detect hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells

Mesenchymal Stem Cells
In culture, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are defined as plastic-adherent, fibroblast-like cells which are able to self-renew and differentiate into bone, adipose and cartilage tissue. STEMCELL Technologies provides a range of products for the enrichment, quantification, expansion and differentiation of human and mouse mesenchymal stem cells.

Neurons

Characterization
Neurons, the functional unit of the central nervous system, are responsible for forming connections and are the communicating cells of the nervous system. STEMCELL Technologies provides serum-free media, supplements and accessory products for the culture and characterization of primary neurons.

Neural stem & progenitor cells

Neural Stem Cells
Neural stem cells are defined as cells with the ability to proliferate, self-renew and produce a large number of functional progeny that can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. STEMCELL Technologies provides a comprehensive range of products for the isolation, maintenance, quantification, expansion and differentiation of neural stem and progenitor cells.

Mammary epithelial cells

Mammary Epithelial Cells
Mammary epithelial cells have been shown to consist of luminal and myoepithelial cells and more recently have been shown to contain stem and progenitor cells capable of replenishing the more differentiated cell types. STEMCELL Technologies offers a variety of specialized and defined media for culture of human and mouse mammary epithelial cells.  MammoCult® is used for the culture of human mammary primary cells and cell lines as mammospheres and tumorspheres. EpiCult®-B cell culture media are used for culture, identification and enumeration of human and mouse mammary epithelial progenitors.

Prostate epithelial cells

Prostate Epithelial Cells
There is evidence to suggest that the prostate epithelium is composed of a hierarchy of cells that spans from prostate stem cells to progenitor cells to terminally differentiated cell types. STEMCELL Technologies has developed ProstaCult Medium for the culture of mouse prostate epithelial cells in the prostate colony-forming cell assay (Pr-CFC).
