FibroGRO Xeno-Free Human Fibroblast Expansion Medium is a new variation of our FibroGRO cell culture media that is optimized for the culture of fibroblasts without the use of animal-derived components. EMD Millipore’s FibroGRO cell system is perfect for establishing Xeno-Free human feeder layers for induced pluripotent, embryonic, and general stem cell culture. It can also be used to establish a model to study wound healing, toxicology and basic cell biology. FibroGRO Xeno Free supports the growth of these cells in a 2% human serum environment at rates equal to or greater than comparable media supplemented with 2-10% FBS. Our FibroGRO Xeno-Free media does not contain any antimicrobials, phenol red, or any other components that can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may influence experimental results.

FibroGROTM Xeno-Free Human Fibroblast Expansion medium is sold as a complete frozen medium and contains all the necessary growth factors and supplements to support fibroblast growth.

Frozen medium should be stored at -20ºC until expiration date.
Thawed medium can be stored at 2 to 8ºC for up to 1 month.
Multiple freeze/thaw cycles are not recommended
