Cellartis DEF-CS 500 Culture System
The Cellartis DEF-CS 500 Culture System is an easy-to-use, complete culture system for defined and feeder-free ES and iPS cell expansion in a non-colony, 2D-monolayer format.
The Cellartis DEF-CS 500 Culture System is an easy-to-use, complete culture system for defined and feeder-free ES and iPS cell expansion in a non-colony, 2D-monolayer format.
With this system, cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state with virtually no background differentiation, eliminating the need for cell selection. The highly reproducible nature of the system, coupled with its ability to ensure an efficient and predictable growth rate, makes the DEF-CS culture system ideal for the expansion and scale-up of a homogeneous population of iPS cells. Following reprogramming, successful expansion of your pluripotent stem cells is crucial. The DEF-CS culture system, a research-grade system, provides media, a coating reagent, and growth factors for the easy culture of iPS cells as a 2D monolayer.
Overview
