Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Research

Maintenance of high quality human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells is critical to success in all applications of PSC research. See MoreSpecific culture conditions are required in order to maintain undifferentiated ES and iPS cells that are capable of self-renewal. Use our defined, feeder-free TeSR-based media , xeno-free cell attachment substrates, and animal component-free passaging reagents, to culture hPSCs and minimize variation in your research. For long-term storage, our suite of cryopreservation media is designed to maintain high viability and maximize hPSC recovery after thawing. For help with your hPSC workflow decision making, use our infographics to find the right reagents for you.
