Product Advantages


  • Serum-free, defined cytokine culture system; no human or animal-derived materials; all proteins are recombinantly produced. Suitable for stem cell drug IND submission and clinical cell bank establishment, with FDA DMF filing (DMF No.: 31623).


  • Significantly improves cell adherence and adaptability, supports lower seeding density and higher expansion fold.


  • No medium exchange required, one-batch continuous culture; efficient passaging up to P20 without cellular senescence.


  • Compatible with cell factories, microcarriers, bioreactors and other 2D & 3D large-scale culture platforms.


  • Low background exosome content, facilitating downstream purification and enabling high-yield, high-quality exosome harvest.

*Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, 2020 Edition Description of Results: G-banded karyotype: 46, XX. Karyotype analysis of 100 metaphase cells shows that chromatid and chromosome breaks, structural aberrations, hyperploidy and hypoploidy are all within the standard reference range for human diploid somatic cell chromosome analysis specified in Volume III of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 Edition).


⑧ MSC In Vitro Tumorigenicity Test — Soft Agar Colony Formation Assay


After 21 days of culture, HeLa cells formed abundant cell colonies, while no cell colonies were observed in MSC groups. MSCs exhibit no tumorigenicity in in vitro culture.
