Hu Recom PDGF-AA, ACF, 10 µg

Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA), prepared as an animal component-free (ACF) protein, is supplied by STEMCELL Technologies for use as a laboratory reagent. The product is described in the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet as a solid and as stable under recommended transport or storage conditions.

According to the manufacturer's product information, PDGF-AA mediates proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and is used to differentiate hPSC-derived neural progenitors into oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Third-party listings describe the growth factor as tested for bioactivity in cell-based assays and as recommended for serum-free or defined media systems and signalling studies, where minimising animal-derived components is a priority. The same listings note that the product should be stored frozen per manufacturer instructions, reconstituted in sterile buffer, aliquoted to avoid freeze-thaw cycles, and used in accordance with the manufacturer's Product Information Sheet.

The Safety Data Sheet, issued by STEMCELL Technologies Canada Inc., classifies the product as not a hazardous substance or mixture according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), and reports that it is not regulated under DOT, TDG, MEX, ICAO, IATA, IMDG, RID, ADR, or ADN transport classifications.
