StemBeads Qkine GDNF

Description

StemBeads® Qkine GDNF is a patented growth factor supplement that offers a novel way to culture cells with native Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor more efficiently, with greater control and fewer medium changes. GDNF is key for supporting neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neuronal differentiation. StemBeads® Qkine GDNF are microbeads composed of an FDA approved, biodegradable PLGA polymer that is loaded with Qkine recombinant human GDNF (Qk051, Recombinant human GDNF bioactive 30 kDa homodimer. This protein is animal origin-free (AOF), carrier protein-free, and tag-free to ensure its purity with exceptional lot-to-lot consistency) to release the encapsulated protein at a constant rate. Controlled delivery and stable levels overcome the 45-minute half-life (Figure above) of GDNF and improve cell cultures while saving researchers valuable time and resources.

StemBeads® Qkine GDNF has been tested in multiple neuronal base media, including neural progenitor expansion media (NPEM), with enhanced cellular profiles. In these cases, StemBeads® Qkine GDNF were used with and without StemBeads® Qkine BDNF.
