Description

Scaling human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) culture from routine research workflows to larger expansion systems remains challenging when using conventional adherent culture methods. Limited surface area, dependence on extracellular matrix coating, manual passaging steps, and difficulties maintaining consistent cell aggregates can affect expansion efficiency and downstream applications.

XR hES/iPSC Suspension Culture Medium Kit (AOF) is an animal-origin-free (AOF) human pluripotent stem cell culture medium designed for feeder-free suspension expansion of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This iPSC suspension culture medium enables the formation of uniform cell aggregates, supporting scalable 3D stem cell culture workflows without the requirement for microcarriers.

Designed for researchers developing scalable hPSC expansion workflows, XR hES/iPSC Suspension Culture Medium Kit supports suspension-based iPSC expansion, spheroid formation, and downstream differentiation applications including organoid research. The system provides a flexible solution for transitioning between suspension (3D) and adherent (2D) culture formats.

Performance Data

Suspension Expansion of Human iPSC

XR hES/iPSC Suspension Culture Medium Kit was evaluated using human iPSC suspension culture workflows. In ultra-low attachment 6-well plates, iPSC aggregates were expanded under orbital shaking conditions, demonstrating efficient suspension-based cell expansion.
