Mitomycin Treated Normal Human Fibroblasts (MCFibs)

Lifeline’s MCFibs® provide an ideal cell system to establish human feeder layers for the culture of embryonic stem cells or other cell types requiring a feeder layer for optimal proliferation.

MCFibs are quality tested in FibroLife® Serum-Free Medium to ensure high viability and plating efficiency. MCFibs are cultured in FibroLife Serum-Free Medium without exposure to undefined serum, antimicrobials, or phenol red, removing the negative impact that these supplements may have on experimental results. MCFibs are ready for use and may be plated directly onto gelatin coated culture vessels. Lifeline’s MCFibs also reduce the need for researchers to store toxic mitomycin C in their laboratory.

Cell Features:

Cryopreserved in second passage (P2).

FMCFibs remain viable and attached in serum-free, animal protein-free, phenol red-free, and antimicrobial-free medium.

MCFibs are extensively tested for quality and optimal performance.

MCFibs are ready to use.

MCFibs are pretreated to help reduce toxic agents in your lab.

Lifeline guarantees performance and quality.

MCFibs are tested for suitability as feeder layers for human embryonic stem cell cultures.
