Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells - Bone Marrow (HMSC-BM)




General information
Description | Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells derived from Bone Marrow (HMSC-BM) represent a robust and versatile tool for in vitro research. These multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) possess the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into a broad spectrum of cell types, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. The potential of HMSC-BM to differentiate into these three key lineages has been well-documented, making them invaluable for studies focused on regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and cellular differentiation pathways. These MSCs are cultivated under stringent conditions, ensuring their multipotency and high viability post-thaw. One of the distinguishing features of HMSC-BM compared to MSCs derived from other sources, such as adipose tissue or umbilical cord, is their superior capacity for osteogenic differentiation. This makes them particularly useful in bone biology and orthopedic research, where understanding the molecular mechanisms governing bone formation and repair is crucial. Additionally, HMSC-BM exhibit a robust immunomodulatory profile, which makes them an excellent model for studying immune interactions and inflammatory responses. These unique characteristics also position HMSC-BM as a preferred choice for preclinical studies exploring bone marrow microenvironment, hematopoiesis, and the pathophysiology of bone marrow-related diseases. Each cryovial of HMSC-BM contains a minimum of 1 x 106 cells, with viability rates ranging between 92% to 95%, as determined by the Trypan Blue dye exclusion test. These cells are derived from bone marrow collected from healthy adult donors, all of whom have provided informed consent. To ensure the highest standards, each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to assess cell identification, purity, potency, and viability. This thorough testing guarantees that the MSCs meet strict criteria, making them suitable for a wide range of research applications, including cell biology studies, drug discovery, and the investigation of cellular responses to different stimuli. These cells are not intended for therapeutic or in vivo applications, and their use is confined to research purposes in a controlled laboratory environment. |

Supplements | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS, 2 ng/mL bFGF |
Dissociation Reagent | Trypsin-EDTA |
Subculturing | For routine adherent cell culture: Aspirate the old culture medium from the adherent cells, and wash them with PBS to remove any remaining medium. After aspirating the PBS, add the appropriate volume of Trypsin/EDTA solution based on the culture vessel size (e.g., 1 ml for a T25 flask, 3 ml for a T75 flask) and incubate at room temperature or 37°C until the cells detach (5-10 minutes). Monitor detachment under a microscope, and gently tap the vessel if necessary to release the cells. Once detached, add complete medium to inactivate the Trypsin/EDTA, gently resuspend the cells, and transfer an aliquot of the cell suspension into a new culture vessel containing fresh medium. Place the vessel in an incubator set to 37°C with 5% CO2, and change the medium every 2-3 days. |
Seeding density | 1 to 3 x 10^4 cells/cm^2 |
Fluid renewal | First fluid renewal after 24 hours, then every 2 to 3 days. |
Freeze medium | As a cryopreservation medium, use 80% FBS + 10% basal medium + 10% DMSO to maintain viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100) for superior cryoprotection, preventing unwanted differentiation while preserving pluripotency. |

- A Gentle Alternative to Trypsin
Accutase is a cell detachment solution that is revolutionizing the cell culture industry. It is a mix of proteolytic and collagenolytic enzymes that mimics the action of trypsin and collagenase. Unlike trypsin, Accutase does not contain any mammalian or bacterial components and is much gentler on cells, making it an ideal solution for the routine detachment of cells from standard tissue culture plasticware and adhesion coated plasticware. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits and uses of Accutase and how it is changing the game in cell culture.
Advantages of Accutase
Accutase has several advantages over traditional trypsin solutions. Firstly, it can be used whenever gentle and efficient detachment of any adherent cell line is needed, making it a direct replacement for trypsin. Secondly, Accutase works extremely well on embryonic and neuronal stem cells, and it has been shown to maintain the viability of these cells after passaging. Thirdly, Accutase preserves most epitopes for subsequent flow cytometry analysis, making it ideal for cell surface marker analysis.
Additionally, Accutase does not need to be neutralized when passaging adherent cells. The addition of more media after the cells are split dilutes Accutase so it is no longer able to detach cells. This eliminates the need for an inactivation step and saves time for cell culture technicians. Finally, Accutase does not need to be aliquoted, and a bottle is stable in the refrigerator for 2 months.
Applications of Accutase
Accutase is a direct replacement for trypsin solution and can be used for the passaging of cell lines. Additionally, Accutase performs well when detaching cells for the analysis of many cell surface markers using flow cytometry and for cell sorting. Other downstream applications of Accutase treatment include analysis of cell surface markers, virus growth assay, cell proliferation, tumor cell migration assays, routine cell passage, production scale-up (bioreactor), and flow cytometry.
Composition of Accutase
Accutase contains no mammalian or bacterial components and is a natural enzyme mixture with proteolytic and collagenolytic enzyme activity. It is formulated at a much lower concentration than trypsin and collagenase, making it less toxic and gentler, but just as effective.
Efficiency of Accutase
Accutase has been shown to be efficient in detaching primary and stem cells and maintaining high cell viability compared to animal origin enzymes such as trypsin. 100% of cells are recovered after 10 minutes, and there is no harm in leaving cells in Accutase for up to 45 minutes, thanks to autodigestion of Accutase.
In summary
In conclusion, Accutase is a powerful solution that is changing the game in cell culture. With its gentle nature, efficiency, and versatility, Accutase is the ideal alternative to trypsin. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient solution for cell detachment, Accutase is the solution for you.
Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a widely used buffer solution in biological and chemical research. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the pH balance and osmolarity during various experimental procedures, including tissue processing and cell culture. Our PBS solution is meticulously formulated with high-purity ingredients to ensure stability and reliability in every experiment. The osmolarity and ion concentrations of our PBS closely mimic those of the human body, making it isotonic and non-toxic to most cells.
Composition of Our PBS Solution
Our PBS solution is a pH-adjusted blend of ultrapure-grade phosphate buffers and saline solutions. At a 1X working concentration, it contains:
8000 mg/L Sodium chloride (NaCl)
200 mg/L Potassium chloride (KCl)
1150 mg/L Sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous (Na2HPO4)
200 mg/L Potassium phosphate monobasic anhydrous (KH2PO4)
This composition ensures an optimal pH and ionic balance, suitable for a wide range of biological applications.
Applications of Our PBS Solution
Our PBS solution is ideal for various applications in biological research. Its isotonic and non-toxic properties make it suitable for substance dilution and cell container rinsing. PBS solutions containing EDTA are effective for disengaging attached and clumped cells. However, divalent metals such as zinc should not be added to PBS, as this can cause precipitation. In such cases, Good's buffers are recommended. Additionally, our PBS solution is an acceptable alternative to viral transport medium for the transport and storage of RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
