Quality

Using the growth factors supplied in this kit a 3-5 fold increase of dopaminergic differention (up to 50-70% TH+ cells) was routinely produced using HES/hips cell derived neural progenitor cells vs. spontaneous neuronal differentiation.

Storage and Stability

Store at -20°C for up to 6 months from date of receipt.
