Which company's FBS serum would you suggest for the proper cardiac differentiation of P19Cl6 cells?

07 February 2016 0 6K Report

Hello all,

I have been trying to differentiate P19Cl6 cells into cardiomyocytes. However the efficiency is quite low. I know that serum plays quite important role for the process. Do you have any suggestions about that? So far, I tried almost every FBS version of Gibco and none of them worked better for me.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.
