Great Growth Factors

Potent and Proven

Our growth factors continue to be referenced in leading publications.  They are excellent for amping up your stem-cell expansion and differentiation media-Tom Kamperman, Sieger Henke, Claas Willem Visser, Marcel Karperien, Jeroen Leijten. (2017). Centering Single Cells in Microgels via Delayed Crosslinking Supports Long-Term 3D Culture by Preventing Cell Escape. Small, doi: 10.1002/smll.201603711.
We will continue to post updates.

FGF and Stem Cells-Options Matter

Proven, Potent and Cost Effective Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF).

Neuromics have a wealth of expertise in Stem Cells, Media and Growth Factors. FGF is an important component of Stem Cell Based Assays. Our goal is to provide an FGF that fits your requirements like "hand in glove".

Here's a small sampling:
ISO-kine bFGF-100% animal free and serum free-is produced in the endosperm tissue of barley grain (Hordeum vulgare), that exhibits up to 50 times less protease activity than E.coli or mammalian cells. Barley seed is void of any human or animal viral contaminants that could jeopardize your cell culture.

...15 million MNCs were seeded per 150 cm2 tissue culture flask. Culture media was alpha MEM supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 mM HEPES buffer, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 0.29 mg/ml L-glutamine (all from Invitrogen, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) and 5 ng/ml of basic FGF or FGF-2 (Neuromics, Edina, MN, USA). Plastic adherent MNCs were allowed to attach and proliferate for 7 days before the first media change under normal oxygen tension (21% O2; 95% air) at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2...

We are working hard to provide unique and cost effective solutions for your Stem Cell Based Assay Requirements.

100% Animal Free FGF Basic

New ISO-kineTM FGF basic-only 39 USD-10 ug.

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) Recombinant Proteins are widely used as tools in Stem Cell Research. They have the capabilities to catalyze growth and differentation as well as maintain cell stasis. We continue to offer new FGFs to make sure we meet the unique demands of our cutsomers and collaborators  .

Our E. Coli derived Human FGF (146 aa) recombinant protein is our #1 seller. As Stem Cell research moves from the bench top to the bedside, there will be a growing need for 100% animal free proteins. We are please to announce we have added a 100% animal free FGF (146 aa) basic that has bio-activity comparable to our top selling options

I anticipate offering more ISOKineTM Bio-risk free Stem Cell Research growth factors to meet growing demand. This growth will be driven by their unique advantages. These include low protease activity and secondary metabolite content and simple protein content all of which aid in downstream processing. These products also have the G.R.A.S. (Generally Recognised As Safe) status from FDA.
