R&D Systems offers a range of kits containing media supplements to promote differentiation of specific cell-types. Kits also contain lineage directed antibodies to identify the cell-types of interest.
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Identification Kits
During the isolation and expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) culture status is best evaluated by measuring their ability to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages.
Human MSC Functional Identification Kit (Catalog # SC006)*
MSC Functional Identification Kits are designed for in vitro identification of human Bone Marrow-derived Stem Cells (BMSC)/MSC, based on their ability to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages. The kit contains specially formulated media supplements and a panel of antibodies for the differentiation and identification of adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes.
Kit Contents:
- Adipogenic Supplement
- Chondrogenic Supplement
- Osteogenic Supplement
- ITS Supplement
- Anti-FABP4 (adipocyte marker)
- Anti-Aggrecan (chondrocyte marker)
- Anti-Osteocalcin (osteocyte marker)
*This kit requires media (not included), such as StemXVivo™ Mesenchymal Stem Cell Expansion Media (Catalog # CCM004) or equivalent.

| Guide for the expansion and differentiation of human MSCs along the osteocyte, adipocyte, and chondrocyte lineages. Human MSCs are cultured and expanded in StemXVivo Human/Mouse Mesenchymal Stem Cell Expansion Media (Catalog # CCM004), and osteogenesis, adipogenesis, and chondrogenesis can be induced with the indicated media and reagents. All these primary antibodies are included in the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit (Catalog # SC006). |
Mouse MSC Functional Identification Kit (Catalog # SC010)*
MSC Functional Identification Kits designed for in vitro identification of mouse BMSC/MSC, based on their ability to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages. The kit contains specially formulated media supplements and a panel of antibodies for the differentiation and identification of adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes.
Kit Contents:
- Adipogenic Supplement
- Chondrogenic Supplement
- Osteogenic Supplement-M
- ITS Supplement
- Anti-FABP4 (adipocyte marker)
- Anti-Collagen II (chondrocytes marker)
- Anti-Osteopontin (osteocyte marker)
*This kit requires media (not included), such as StemXVivo Mesenchymal Stem Cell Expansion Media (Catalog # CCM004) or equivalent.
