よくあるご質問(FAQ)
What is the glucose content of the StemFlex Medium (Cat. No. A3349401)?
The StemFlex Medium (Cat. No. A3349401) includes 3.151 g/L (~17.5 mM) of D-glucose (dextrose) in the Basal Medium. The StemFlex Medium Supplement does not include glucose.
What media do you recommend for standard single-cell cloning of iPSCs?
We recommend StemFlex Medium (Cat. No. A3349401) or Essential 8 (Cat. No. A1517001) for standard single-cell iPSC cloning in the presence of RevitaCell or ROCK inhibitor. StemScale PSC Suspension Medium (Cat. No. A4965001) is not recommended for iPSC cloning.
What is the difference between StemFlex Medium and Essential 8 Flex Medium?
Essential 8 Flex Medium is a serum-free, xeno-free medium that contains proprietary material to extend the activity of the key heat-sensitive component, FGF2. Therefore, it supports the culture and expansion of feeder-free pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) without the need for daily or weekend feeding. Note: We also offer Essential 8 Medium that does not allow skipping of PSC feeding during the weekend.
StemFlex Medium also supports the expansion of feeder-free PSCs with a flexible feeding schedule (including weekend-free feeding) and also the ability to choose the matrix and passaging reagent that best suits specific applications.
Has StemFlex Medium been evaluated for growth of mouse ESCs?
StemFlex Medium contains basic FGF which has been shown to result in differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to mouse-derived epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs). Also, mESCs demonstrate dependence on leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF). Therefore, StemFlex Medium is not recommended for culture of mESCs.

'We assessed the pluripotency of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) maintained on an automated platform using StemFlex and TeSR-E8 media. Analysis of transcriptome of single cells revealed similar expression of core pluripotency genes, as well as genes associated with naive and primed states of pluripotency. Analysis of individual cells ... More
Improving single-cell cloning workflow for gene editing in human pluripotent stem cells.

'The availability of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and progress in genome engineering technology have altered the way we approach scientific research and drug development screens. Unfortunately, the procedures for genome editing of hPSCs often subject cells to harsh conditions that compromise viability: a major problem that is compounded by ... More
Detection of Deleterious On-Target Effects after HDR-Mediated CRISPR Editing.

'CRISPR genome editing is a promising tool for translational research but can cause undesired editing outcomes, both on target at the edited locus and off target at other genomic loci. Here, we investigate the occurrence of deleterious on-target effects (OnTEs) in human stem cells after insertion of disease-related mutations by ... More
Modulation of hepatitis B virus infection by epidermal growth factor secreted from liver sinusoidal endothelial cells.

'Hepatocytes derived from human iPSCs are useful to study hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, however infection efficiency is rather poor. In order to improve the efficiency of HBV infection to iPSC-derived hepatocytes, we set a co-culture of hepatocytes with liver non-parenchymal cells and found that liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) ...

'Neurons created from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide the capability of identifying biological mechanisms that underlie brain disorders. IPSC-derived human neurons, or iNs, hold promise for advancing precision medicine through drug screening, though it remains unclear to what extent iNs can support early-stage drug discovery efforts in industrial-scale ...
