Key Product Details
| Features: |
Cultrex ReadyBME is a pre-diluted and ready-to-use coating substrate that improves the consistency and efficiency of feeder-free pluripotent stem cell cultures. Cultrex ReadyBME, Stem Cell Qualified, Reduced Growth Factor (Catalog # 3434-050-RTU) is comparable to Geltrex™ hESC-Qualified, Ready-To-Use, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Catalog # A1569601). |

Maintenance of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. JOY6 human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) colonies were successfully cultured for > 10 passages using Cultrex ReadyBME. A) Representative image of JOY6 hiPSC colonies cultured on Cultrex ReadyBME. B) hiPSCs cultured on Cultrex ReadyBME retain stemness markers as shown by flow cytometry using a Human/Mouse Oct-3/4 APC-conjugated Antibody (Catalog # IC1759A) and Human/Mouse SSEA-4 Fluorescein-conjugated Antibody (Catalog # FAB1435F). C) hiPSCs remain negative for SSEA-1expression as detected using a Human/Mouse SSEA-1 PerCP-conjugated Antibody (Catalog # FAB2155C). |

Colony Formation of Human iPSC and ESC Cultured using Cultrex ReadyBME. Three human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (IPSK3, IBJ6, and JOY6) and one human embryonic stem cell line (BG01V) were cultured using Cultrex ReadyBME. Representative images of colonies for each of the pluripotent stem cell lines shows normal colony formation. BG01V human embryonic stem cells are licensed for ViaCyte, Inc. |

Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. IBJ6 human induced pluripotent stem cells were cultured for 6 passages using Cultrex ReadyBME. Pluripotency was tested using the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit (Catalog # SC027B), which differentiates hiPSCs into the three germ layers.Immunocytochemistry showed that IBJ6 hiPSC successfully differentiated into endoderm (SOX17), mesoderm (Brachyury),and ectoderm (Otx2). Cells were counterstained with DAPI (Catalog # 5748). |

Cultrex ReadyBME Performs Equal to Cultrex Stem Cell Qualified RGF BME. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were maintained in culture using Cultrex ReadyBME or Stem Cell Qualified (SCQ) Cultrex RGF BME (Catalog # 3434-005-02) and evaluated for (A) expression of stemness markers, SSEA-4 and Oct-3/4, and (B) differentiation capacity into endoderm. A) iPSCs cultured using Cultrex ReadyBME showed similar expression of SSEA-4 and Oct-3/4 compared to SCQ Cultrex RGF BME. B) iPSC cultured using Cultrex ReadyBME showed similar efficiency to differentiate into endoderm, as determined by SOX17 expression, compared to cells grown using SCQ Cultrex RGF BME |
