The MegaCult™-C Collagen and Medium with Lipids kit includes medium and collagen solution for colony-forming unit (CFU) assays of human or mouse megakaryocyte progenitor cells (CFU-Mk). The addition of cytokines is required. 

MegaCult™-C Medium with Lipids is intended for the culture of CFU-Mk in human bone marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, and cord blood samples after addition of appropriate cytokines. It is recommended for use with CD34+-enriched cells, mononuclear cells, and cells isolated by other purification methods. It can also be used for CFU-MK assays of megakaryocyte progenitor cells in unseparated or purified cell suspensions of mouse bone marrow after addition of appropriate cytokines.
