OsteoLife ™ Complete Osteogenesis Medium

Product Description

OsteoLife™ Complete Osteogenesis Frozen Medium is a new medium optimized for the differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells into osteocytes.

• Fully Supplemented – Offered as a convenient and easy to use, fully-supplemented complete frozen medium (100mL) to extend shelf-life.

OsteoLife contains no antimicrobials and no phenol red. Antimicrobials are not required, but are recommended during differentiation due to the duration of culture and the frequency of handling of the cultures. Antimicrobials and phenol red may be purchased separately from Lifeline.
OsteoLife Complete Osteogenesis Frozen Medium differentiates Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells (left) into osteocytes. In comparisons with commercially-available media, OsteoLife shows superior efficiency of differentiation as demonstrated by the greater deposit of calcium.
