Amsbio is a supplier of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) and Newborn Human Foreskin Fibroblasts (NuFFs) for mouse and human pluripotent stem-cell culture (ES and iPS cells).
All Amsbio feeder-cell products are meticulously derived and comprehensively tested on mouse and human ES stem cells to ensure robust and consistent performance with every lot.
Stem cells, particularly human pluripotent stem cells, are notoriously labile in culture, requiring specific nutrients and culture environment to maintain their undifferentiated state.
Feeder cells remain the most traditional and popular method of maintain stable undifferentiated growth of the pluripotent stem cells.
However, feeder cells produced in-house risk contamination and unintended variations from lot to lot, resulting in loss of activity of stem cells.
Feeder cells from Amsbio offer a cost-effective approach to standardising stem-cell growth, saving time and money, and reducing the risk of misleading data.
Available as untreated and growth arrested by Mitomycin C or irradiation - Amsbio feeder cells are manufactured using a standardised production process to yield low passage cells that consistently maintain ES and iPS cell cultures in the undifferentiated state.
Amsbio undertakes comprehensive contamination tests, including human pathogens and Mycoplasma detection, significantly reducing the threat of contamination.
