General description

PluriSTEM-XF Human ES/iPS Medium is a complete xeno-free medium formulation for the feeder-free culture of human ES and iPS cells. Pluripotent cells maintained in thissmall molecule based medium exhibit high cell health, express high levels of pluripotency markers (NANOG, OCT3/4, SOX-2, SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81), retain differentiation potential and possess a normal karyotype. PluriSTEM-XF Human ES/iPS Medium is provided as a stand-alone 500 mL bottle that is ready-to-use and does not require additional supplementation.

For a complete xeno-free culture system, PluriSTEM-XF Human ES/iPS Medium should be used with PluriSTEM-XF Recombinant Vitronectin (Cat. No. CC130).

Each lot of PluriSTEM-XF Human ES/iPS Medium is rigorously quality control tested for the ability to sustain undifferentiated human ES/iPS cells for 3 passages.

Note: Before starting PluriSTEM-XF, users are recommended to read the manual carefully and completely. Colony morphology and growth rates may differ from other serum-free, feeder-free media culture conditions.

Quality

Each lot of PluriSTEM® Human ES/iPS Medium is rigorously quality control tested for the ability to sustain undifferentiated human ES cells for greater than 3 passages.

Storage and Stability

PluriSTEM-XF Human ES/iPS Medium is provided frozen and can be stored at -20°C until the expiration date on the product label.

Before use, thaw PluriSTEM-XF medium at room temperature (15 – 25°C) or overnight at 2 – 8°C. Do not thaw at 37°C. Upon thawing, PluriSTEM-XF medium may be aseptically dispensed into working aliquots and stored at -20°C until the expiration date as indicated on the label. Thawed aliquots may be stored at 2 – 8°C for up to 2 weeks. Do not refreeze aliquots after thawing. Before use, warm working aliquots to room temperature. Do not warm the medium in a 37°C water bath.
