HiXpan® MSC Serum-Free Expansion Kit | GMP‑grade, ready for drug registration


 

With the issuance of National Document No. 818 ( Regulations on the Clinical Research and Clinical Translation of New Biomedical Technologies ) Officially implemented on May 1, 2026, the stem cell field has officially entered a new era of “safety and compliance, scientific innovation.” Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are transitioning from the laboratory to clinical practice, with the safety and stability of culture systems remaining the cornerstone of translational research. How can we achieve efficient, stable expansion of MSCs derived from different tissue sources within a compliant regulatory framework? Hycells, backed by data, has launched HiXpan, which encompasses compliant seed cells and meets GMP‑compliant manufacturing standards. ® A one-stop solution for serum-free culture kits, redefining industry standards.

01

Core product: HiXpan ® MSC Serum-Free Expansion Kit

Specifically designed for MSCs derived from multiple tissue sources, it offers the following key advantages: 
 

Broad-spectrum applicability : Perfectly compatible with a variety of human-derived mesenchymal stem cells, including umbilical cord, bone marrow, and adipose tissue, supporting primary cell isolation via outgrowth and scalable, stable expansion.

Efficient amplification : Exhibits a faster proliferation rate, maintains stable passage for more than 15 passages, and remarkably preserves cellular differentiation potential.

Ready-to-use design : No coating required, no additional reagents needed, significantly simplifying the workflow.

GMP grade, free of heterologous ingredients : Completely eliminate the risk of animal-derived contamination and meet clinical cell‑manufacturing compliance requirements.

 

 

 

 

02

Core Application Scenario Data Display:

Hycells conducted data validation on MSCs derived from umbilical cord, adipose tissue, and bone marrow.

 

Scenario 1: Expansion of MSCs Derived from the Umbilical Cord 
 

 

 

 

Experiments demonstrate that the HeYou MSC amplification kits from two different batches both exhibit significantly superior overall culture performance compared to well-known mainstream brands on the market.

Batch-to-batch stability: Two batches of the MSC serum-free expansion kit demonstrated high consistency, demonstrating that MSC333 can reliably deliver its performance potential and ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of each expansion run.

Competitive Advantage: In the critical application of umbilical cord MSCs, the Hycells serum-free expansion kit for MSCs demonstrates a clear competitive edge.

 

Scenario 2: Bone marrow–derived MSCs

 

 

 

The experiments encompassed two critical stages of bone marrow–derived MSCs: ① primary culture and cell adhesion; and ② passaging and expansion. The MSC333 system performed well in both respects. As bone marrow is a classic source of MSCs, these results provide strong validation for the reliable application of MSC333 in conventional tissue‑derived cell cultures. 
 
 

Scenario 3: Adipose-derived MSCs

 

 


 


 

Day 7 climbing assays revealed that the MSC333 group exhibited superior climbing efficiency and cell morphology, further confirming the product’s broad applicability in adipose‑derived MSCs.

03

GMP Production Quality Implementation

Hycells has successfully achieved commercial-scale implementation under a stringent GMP quality system:

Production facilities: The Wuxi Center focuses on R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization, with a total area exceeding 3,000 square meters.

Quality Certification: It has obtained certification under the GB/T 19001-2016/ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.

Production Capacity and Compliance: We provide a complete, transparent, and auditable compliance documentation chain—from production records to full‑scale quality inspection reports—fully supporting IND submissions.

 

04

Broad-spectrum, highly effective, safe, and compliant—setting a new industry benchmark.

Hycells HiXpan ® The MSC serum-free expansion kit, backed by authentic and reliable experimental data and leveraging Hycells’s compliant MSC seed cells, delivers a comprehensive, one-stop solution for MSC culture, facilitating seamless integration between research and production. 
 

Broad-spectrum: Fully supports MSCs derived from multiple tissue sources, including umbilical cord, bone marrow, and adipose tissue.

Efficient: It outperforms mainstream market brands in both primary and passaged cultures, with minimal batch-to-batch variability and consistently stable performance.

Safety: Serum-free, xenogeneic‑free, with stringent GMP quality control and full donor traceability.

Compliance: Compliant with IND submission and IIT research Requirement: Provide a complete and compliant documentation chain.

 

Domestically produced culture media have already demonstrated strong performance in cell proliferation and subculture stability. As a pioneer and driving force in this field, Hycells Bio is committed to delivering a stable, compliant, and exceptionally reliable one-stop culture‑media solution that exceeds the expectations of researchers and clinicians alike.
