Bovine ESC morphology in 2D culture

Bovine embryo-derived stem cells (ESCs)

Our bovine embryo-derived stem cells (ESCs) are sourced from cattle with full traceability and veterinary certification. Derived from IVF and in-vivo fertilised flushed embryos, the cells are cultured feeder-free in serum-free media, with <24-hour doubling time in 2D and 3D culture. They differentiate into a wide range of cells including MPs, MSCs, adipocytes, myocytes, and fibroblasts. Characterisation includes qPCR, flow cytometry, karyotyping, RNAseq and sterility tests.
