Bone Marrow, 50mL, Fresh

Bone marrow aspirate is collected from healthy donors following IRB protocols and contains 80 IU/mL (nominal) porcine heparin as an anticoagulant. The fresh tissue contains CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). CD34+ HSPC have the potential to self-renew and differentiate into all the mature blood cell lineages. MSC have the potential to differentiate into several lineages including bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat. Cells are shipped in a sterile media bottle. Count and viability are determined using AO/PI.
