MethoCult™ is a line of semi-solid methylcellulose-based media formulated to promote optimal growth and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in culture. MethoCult™ is the “Gold Standard” for the in vitro detection and quantification of hematopoietic progenitor cells in the colony-forming unit (CFU) or cell (CFC) assay. A wide range of MethoCult™ media formulations are available for CFU assays with hematopoietic cells from human and mouse tissues. Select formulations can also be used with hematopoietic cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) or from other species, specifically rats, non-human primates and dogs
