BRANFORD, Conn., July 24, 2012, /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- PhoenixSongs Biologicals, Inc. today announced the release of their novel state of the art neural cell culture media system optimized for the growth and differentiation of human, rat, and mouse neural stem cells isolated from donated tissue, induced pluripotency stem (iPS) cells, or embryonic stem (ES) cells. These unique media formulations enable expansion of neural stem cell populations to a scale never before achieved and reliably differentiate neural stem cells into functionally mature neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, with electrically active neurons that have abundant and mature excitatory and inhibitory synapses.
Unlike larger manufactures of similar neural media products, all media products formulated and produced at PhoenixSongs are optimized to support specific lineage stages of cells from proliferation of the neural stem cells through development (in vitro differentiation) into mature cell fates focusing on functional endpoints of the mature terminally differentiated cell types. Each batch of media is put through rigorous quality control testing for sterility and function to ensure that each bottle of media meets the highest industry performance QC standards before it is released for sale. All media formulations are produced by PhoenixSongs with pre-qualified reagents for consistent performance across all batches. Each media is complete, including a basal liquid media, a frozen serum-free supplement, and all the growth factors required for growth and differentiation of the stem cells into neurons as well as maintenance and survival of the neurons in long-term culture.
These Neural Stem Cell Growth, Transition, and Differentiation Media were originally formulated using off-the-shelf products (such as Neural Basal and DMEM/F12 media, B27, and N2 supplements) to produce neural stem cells from mouse ES cells then differentiated into neural cu
