Thermo Fisher Scientific Adds New Tools to Stem Cell Research Platform
With Thermo Scientific HyClone AdvanceSTEM Amniotic Epithelial Expansion Kit and CET
Human Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells

LOGAN, Utah, (June 30, 2008) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has introduced the Thermo Scientific HyClone AdvanceSTEM Amniotic Epithelial Expansion Kit and Human Amniotic Epithelial (HAE) Stem Cells, two new products to support research applications.

The AdvanceSTEM Amniotic Epithelial Expansion Kit was developed specifically to support the expansion of Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells. The HAE cells retain embryonic stem cell characteristics and are useful for tissue differentiation into cells of all three germ layers.

By using this kit, scientists can expand HAE Cells more quickly and easily than with other methods. The AdvanceSTEM Amniotic Epithelial Expansion Medium is tested and validated for the expansion of HAE Cells. By using this medium, researchers are able to reduce additional testing. Amniotic Epithelial Expansion Medium allows the researcher to expand cells into usable amounts furthering research in tissue differentiation such as conversion into pancreatic islet cells, liver hepatocytes, cardiomyocyte and others.

The AdvanceSTEM Kit and CET Cells are part of the Thermo Scientific Stem Cell Excellence portfolio, an end-to-end workflow solution that incorporates essential instruments, equipment, consumables, reagents and media, services and software tailored to the needs of stem-cell laboratories.
