The mouse intestinal organoids grown with IntestiCult™ Organoid Growth Medium (Mouse) from StemCell Technologies offer a dependable in vitro model for small and large intestinal epithelium. Available in South Africa through Apex Scientific, this defined, serum‑free medium supports both rapid establishment and long‑term maintenance of organoids from isolated mouse intestinal crypts. Within a week, crypts form fully developed organoids with a polarized epithelium containing all major adult intestinal cell types.
Key Features and Applications
Researchers use this medium to investigate epithelial development, stem cell dynamics, and intestinal regeneration in controlled laboratory settings. Furthermore, it supports disease modeling, drug discovery, and toxicity testing. By maintaining the full architecture of the intestinal epithelium—including the self‑renewing stem cell niche and realistic cell‑cell signaling—mouse intestinal organoids in IntestiCult™ provide a robust platform for translational research.
The serum‑free formulation ensures reproducibility and minimizes variability. As a result, scientists can use it for both normal physiology and tumorigenic studies, making it valuable for cancer research and regenerative therapy projects.
