Product Use: MODS are for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Storage: Store MODS at -20oC; once added to medium, store at +4oC and protect from light. Do not refreeze after thawing.
Shipping: Dry ice.
Instructions for Use: For best results, use MODS in conjunction with 500 mL Mesenchymal Stem cell Osteogenic Differentiation Medium-b (MODM-b, Cat no. SC7531-b) and 25 mL fetal bovine serum (FBS, Cat no. SC0025). Thaw MODS at +37oC. Gently tilt the tube several times to ensure complete mixing. Spray the medium bottle and supplement tube with 70% ethanol and wipe to remove excess liquid. In a sterile field, remove the caps without touching the interior threads with fingers. Add MODS to the basal medium and mix well. Since several components are light-labile, the medium should not be exposed to light for extended periods. We do not recommend warming medium in a +37oC water bath prior to use. When stored in the dark at +4oC, the reconstituted medium is stable for one month.
Caution: If handled improperly, some components of the medium may present a health hazard. Take appropriate precautions when handling it, including the wearing of protective clothing and eyewear. Dispose of properly.
