Corning® MSCulture Max™ Media Frequently Asked Questions

Optimize your Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) expansion with essential insights into the Corning MSCulture Max Media family. There are three versions of the media available, each consisting of a basal medium and a corresponding supplement that must be ordered and combined individually for optimal performance.

Understanding the regulatory classification of your final media is crucial. The intended use is always determined by the component with the lower regulatory designation; for instance, combining a GMP basal medium with a non-GMP supplement results in a research-use-only classification. Learn about the specific composition of each version—Standard, Xeno-free (XF), and GMP-grade—and their serum or xeno-free status. You'll also discover that this batch media is engineered to eliminate the need for media exchange or feeding between passages. Get all the details on ordering, shipping (the basal medium is refrigerated, the supplement is frozen, and they arrive separately ), storage conditions, and shelf life of the complete media once combined.
