Cell Therapy Success
Thank you from Merck for attending the 2019 ISCT Meeting in Melbourne!
We hope you had the opportunity to visit us. Whether you are in preclinical development or commercializing your therapy, Merck provides a spectrum of solutions to the challenges in cell therapy production.
Coming soon: Stemline® XF MSC Medium
We are proud to introduce a xeno-free mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) culture medium created to support cell expansion for clinical and commercial manufacturing. Designed to perform in both planar and suspension formats, Stemline® XF MSC Medium is suited for cell therapy applications thanks to careful selection of raw materials, a sustainable supply chain, and a production process that incorporates our wealth of regulatory expertise.
Comparison of growth in microcarrier-based 3 L bioreactor format. Total cell counts on Day 8 indicate Stemline® XF MSC medium outperformed AMEM + hPL by 58.3% and a commercially available xeno-free formulation (XF-X) by 178.9%

Available soon as a catalog product, Stemline® XF MSC Medium is formulated as a liquid basal medium and frozen supplement cocktail for ease of use. We will also offer custom packaging solutions tailored to fit your precise requirements for commercial scale cell therapy manufacturing. Keep up-to-date at merckmillipore.com/fastforward.
