Product Details
huOB Medium is a specially developed osteoblast growth medium for the in vitro culture of our immortalized osteoblasts CI-huOB (INS-CI-1005).
It is designed for use in an incubator at 37° C with a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
This Medium is used for expansion and maintenance of our CI-huOB osteoblasts. To induce osteoblast differentiation, please use our huOB Differentiation Medium (INS-ME-1007).
This Medium is provided as a kit consisting of Basal Medium and Supplement Mix in separate sterile packing, which need to be combined to obtain the complete, ready-to-use medium.
Osteoblasts are specialized cells primarily responsible for bone formation and bone mineralization. They produce and secrete the organic components of the bone matrix, including collagen, which provides the framework for deposition of calcium and other minerals, the so-called mineralization.
