CnT-Prime Epithelial Proliferation Medium, EGF/FGF-Free

Differentiation of human iPSC and ESC down corneal lineages in a chemically defined, animal component-free medium.

Catalog CnT-PR-EF
Content 500 ml, Frozen medium

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Chemically defined, contains no components of animal or human origin
  • High efficiency differentiation

Description

CnT-PR-EF is a chemically defined, animal component-free medium for differentiation of human iPSC and ESC down corneal lineages. This medium contains low growth factors and is free of EGF and EGF to deliver the desired differentiation of iPS cells.

Scientific resources

CnT-PR-EF is a low growth factor culture medium that can be used for the differentiation of iPS cells. It does not contain antibiotics / antimycotics, and is free of EGF and FGF.

For detailed instructions of how CnT-PR-EF can be supplemented to induce iPSC to differentiate into corneal epithelium, please see Nature Protocols (Hayashi et al. 2017).

The medium undergoes a range of QC tests in our lab before being released for sale. Please see the datasheet for details. It can easily be upgraded for clinical applications. Contact us at support@cellntec.com for further details and pricing.

Thawing, seeding and passaging protocols are particularly important for optimal cell growth. Please visit our Protocols Page for our recommendations.
