I can’t think of a more prolific field of study than that of stem cell research. They talk about the isolation of B cells and the different media they utilize in their processes. The data seems to be on the fast track. It is almost daily that some new product or new approach to an [...]

Cell Line Development
I don’t care if it is cancer stem cells, embryonic stem cells or cell line development, the place to go for supply of these highly sensitive products is none other than Stemcell Technologies. As a leader that supplies over a thousand of the mega technical products to an impressive seventy nations globally, they will be [...]
CHO Cell Media
Yet another dramatic tidbit from the scientific community,the advent of the CHO cell media. This media includes the use of the cells from the ovaries of Chinese hamsters. I guess the girls get the bad end of the stick one more time. This is one of the six media supplied by the now infamous Stemcell [...]
Stem Cell Culture
It is extremely exciting to me to think that we may be but one stem cell culture away from curing the most daunting disease, cancer. The amount of stem cell research underway could very well reveal the incredible news any time now. I view it being like a young maiden waiting for her beau to [...]
Embryonic Stem Cells Differentiation
It would take me weeks to even come up with a phrase like embryonic stem cells differentiation on the rare chance that I knew what I was talking about. To actually develop such a thing first, and then name it, is almost absurd. I will forever be in a fog when it comes to any [...]
Methylcellulose Based Media
When I was a child, the great fear for us was Polio. The debilitating disease infiltrated the bodies of so many young people. It loomed as the cancer of today. It wasn’t until the brilliance of Dr. Jonas Salk that the dragon was slain. The identical scenario of dread and fear is looming today for [...]
CFC Assay
As the world watches in anticipation, the battle against disease wages on as it never has before. The exciting pace that exists in the field of stem cell research is pulsating. Discoveries and procedures like CFC Assay are forging scientists ahead. As each new piece of the puzzle finds its spot, we are getting closer [...]
Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mister, Doctor, Professor or whatever is the way my dear friend Ralph was addressed in his lab in Canada 200 times a day, he worked 15 hours a day on a passionate mission to rid the world of as many ailments as he could. He was involved in everything from the HIV virus to mesenchymal [...]
Cancer Stem Cells
Being a total naive person when it comes to anything I can’t see with my own two eyes, I wonder how in the world things happen in research labs the way they do. I had a close friend who would occasionally bring me into his research lab at a local university. He was my exact [...]
I Should Have Used Cymax
As I move on in years, I am doing exactly what I caomplained to my parents about way back when. I am becoming stubborn, you know, thick-headed. You can tell me anything. I just won’t listen. I recently paid the price for yet another episode of “I know it all.” I wanted to purchase a [...]
