Does the Osteoblast Growth Medium support osteoblast proliferation or differentiation? Does the medium contain any recombinant growth factors?

Our Osteoblast Growth Medium (C-27001) consists of the Basal Medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCS, but with no recombinant growth factors. The medium primarily supports the proliferative capacity of normal human osteoblasts. It does not contain osteogenic factors (like dexamethasone and beta-glycerophosphate) that promote differentiation, as many users test their own chemical compounds (growth factors, hormones), or examine the effects of physical strain or sheer stress on the differentiated functions.

The Osteoblast Growth Medium is well-suited as the basis for these applications and can be supplemented with further growth factors if necessary. To specifically induce mineralization, we supply Osteoblast Mineralization Medium (C-27020).
