Description:
ESGRO Complete Clonal Grade Medium
Product Overview:
ESGRO Complete™ Clonal Grade Medium is a defined serum-free medium optimized to grow and maintain undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells in the absence of serum and feeder cells. Intended for mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell expansion and growth at clonal density in serum-free conditions. Cells should maintain germ line competency.
Key Applications:
Stem Cell Culture
Application Notes:
Suitable for ES cell derivation, transfection and selection, in addition to general cell passaging and growth.
Media can be used on feeder dependent/independent ES cell lines.
Important passaging information
Use of one of the below listed cell dissociation solutions is imperative while passaging ES cells using ESGRO Complete products. Standard trypsin protocols used to passage ES cells grown in serum containing media typically result in over trypsinization causing the cells to lift off the plates and form abnormal ball-like structures.
Recommended products include:
ESGRO Complete™ Accutase (Cat # SF006)
ESGRO Complete™ Trypsin Solution (proprietary) (Cat # SF007)
ESGRO Complete™ Enzyme-Free Dissociation Solution (proprietary) (Cat # SF009)

Quality Assurance:
QC PROTOCOL:
Low density plating assay:
1. Plate feeder independent early passage ES cells onto gelatin coated 10 cm plastic tissue culture dish at 1000 cells/10 cm dish in 10-20 mL of Clonal Grade Medium.
2. Change medium every 2-4 days.
3. Monitor for clonal growth with alkaline phosphatase stain.
Colony formation should occur over 4-6 days. The majority of colonies should show no signs of differentiation.
