MSCgo Rapid Osteogenic Differentiation Medium Overview
MSCgo™ Rapid Osteogenic Differentiation Medium is a serum-free (SF), xeno-free (XF), complete, and ready to use formulation developed for optimal differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) to mature osteocytes. The MSCgo™ Rapid Osteogenic Differentiation Medium is validated to efficiently differeniate hMSC from a variety of sources, including bone marrow (BM-MSC), adipose tissue (AT-MSC), and umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC). The protocol is part of a complete system for multipotency evaluation of hMSCs. The MSCgo™ Rapid Osteogenic Differentiation Medium enables fast osteogenesis of hMSCs. Differentiation to mature osteocytes is seen in less than 10 days.

Osteogenesis Results
Osteogenic differentiation of hMSC results in the formation of mineralized culture with calcified nodules and calcium secretion that can be detected with Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining. The ARS is used to stain calcium deposits formation which are an indication of mature osteocytes. The amount of calcified nodules formation and calcium secretion can be varying using different hMSC (e.g. source, age, and passage number).
Required Materials for Osteogenic Assay
MSCgo™ Osteogenic Differentiation Medium (BI Cat. No. 05-440-1) or MSCgo™ Rapid Osteogenic Differentiation Medium (BI Cat. No. 05-442-1)
The MSCgo Rapid Osteogenic Differentiation Medium is validated for optimal differentiation of hMSC into osteocytes. Additional tests are: pH, osmolality, endotoxins and sterility tests.
