StemSpan™- Animal Component-Free (ACF) has been developed for the in vitro culture and expansion of human hematopoietic cells, when the appropriate growth factors and supplements are added. This allows users the flexibility to prepare medium that meets their requirements. StemSpan™-ACF contains recombinant proteins and synthetic components, and does not contain serum or other human- or animal-derived components.
Using appropriate StemSpan™ Expansion Supplements, StemSpan™-ACF may be used to expand CD34+ cells isolated from human cord blood, mobilized peripheral blood, or bone marrow samples, or to expand and differentiate lineage-committed progenitor cells to generate populations of myeloid or megakaryocyte progenitor cells.
