StemBeads FGF2 is an innovative reagent created to help keep the culture environment more stable by encapsulating growth factors and releasing them at a constant level over time. It has been known for some time, that growth factors are unstable, and our product was the first to fix this instability thus offering researchers some unique benefits.
Why choose StemBeads FGF2 for stem cell growth
- Time Savings – Say goodbye to daily feeding! With StemBeads, you only need to change your media 2-3 times per week.
- Money Savings – Save labor costs and media costs with reduced feedings.
- Better Cultures – When growth factor levels are constant, the cells are better and more homogeneous. Enhance pluripotency, reduce unwanted spontaneous differentiation, improve down stream differentiation efficiency, and improve iPSC derived organoids, all with reduced feeding.
- Flexibility – StemBeads are compatible with commercial media, just add StemBeads FGF2 to your current media of choice.
- Normal Protein (Not Mutated Form) – StemBeads FGF2 release the normal, full-length protein, not a mutated sequence thermally altered to be more stable.
Mouse neuronal stem cell growth for one week in StemBeads FGF2 show increased progenitor cells (Nestin+, red) and decreased neuronal differentiation (TUJ1+, green) compared to no FGF2 and soluble FGF2 (DAPI, blue).
Therefore, if you are frustrated with feeding your cells every day with growth factors that are not stable and are looking for a solution, give StemBeads FGF2 a shot. No new media, no strange mutant proteins.
