Stemcell, 100-1218, STEMdiff™ Endothelial Expansion Culture Kit

Efficiently expand human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived endothelial cells using xeno-free STEMdiff™ Endothelial Expansion Culture Kit (Catalog #100-1218). This kit includes xeno-free STEMdiff™ Endothelial Expansion Basal Medium and 5X Supplement, and Animal Component-Free Cell Attachment Substrate, and is is optimized for the expansion of hPSC-derived endothelial cells and for the maintenance of endothelial marker expression. After 7 days of mesoderm and endothelial induction, the resulting cells can be expanded for 5 - 6 passages to generate large numbers of highly pure, mature endothelial cells that typically reach ≥ 99% CD144+CD31+ by passage 2 and maintain this phenotype until passage 5.

This kit is compatible with hPSCs maintained in mTeSR™1 (Catalog #85850), mTeSR™ Plus (Catalog #100-0276), or TeSR™-E8™ (Catalog #05990) on Corning® Matrigel®. The components of STEMdiff™ Endothelial Expansion Culture Kit are included in STEMdiff™ Endothelial Differentiation Kit (Catalog #08005). For passaging, Animal Component-Free Cell Dissociation Kit (Catalog #05426) is required.

NOTE: Heparin Solution (Catalog #07980) is required for preparation of complete STEMdiff™ Endothelial Expansion Medium.

CollPlant is the manufacturer of the rhCollagen component of the cell attachment substrate.
