Overview
Developed and manufactured by Nucleus Biologics, Vitronectin XF™ is an effective alternative to Corning® Matrigel®. Use Vitronectin XF™ with mTeSR™1, mTeSR™ Plus, TeSR™-E8™, or TeSR™-AOF medium to provide a defined culture system for the maintenance of human embryonic stem (ES) cells and human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells under feeder-free conditions. This system allows complete control over the culture environment, resulting in more consistent cell populations and reproducible results in downstream applications.
Note: CellAdhere™ Dilution Buffer and non-tissue culture-treated cultureware (e.g. Catalog #100-0096/27147) are required for use with Vitronectin XF™ and are available for purchase separately.
Data Figures

Figure 1. Morphology of Human ES and iPS Cells Cultured on Vitronectin XF™ Cell Culture Matrix in TeSR™-E8™
Undifferentiated human ES (H9) and iPS (WLS-1C) cell cultures exhibit normal morphology when cultured on Vitronectin XF™. Colonies are round, tightly packed and multilayered, with a high nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio. Cells were transferred directly from Matrigel® hESC-Qualified Matrix without an adaptation step. Note: Colonies grown in TeSR™-E8™ have a more condensed and round morphology when grown on Vitronectin XF™ matrix, compared to colonies grown on Matrigel® hESC-Qualified Matrix, which are more diffuse and irregularly shaped.
