Cellartis human ES cell line kits contain human embryonic stem (ES) cells that are banked and characterized according to the highest industry standards, along with a starter set for the Cellartis DEF-CS culture system. The ES cells are adapted to the DEF-CS culture system, an easy-to-use, complete culture system for efficient ES-cell expansion in a feeder-free, defined environment. 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 DEF-CS system coupled with the stable high growth rate of these stem cell lines is ideal for mass production of cells.
Overview
hES cells were derived under stringent ethical and legal conditions; the derivation process follows all applicable laws in Sweden and the EU and is approved by a regional ethical authority. Identifiers associated with the donated tissue have been removed.
hES cells were derived under feeder-free conditions
Cell lines are extensively analyzed for purity and stem cell characteristics, including recovery after thawing, absence of mycoplasma and bacteria, expression of stem-cell-specific markers (Oct-4, NANOG, SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81), absence of differentiation markers (Beta-3 tubulin, FOXA2, and ASMA), and expected karyotype
Cells are optimized for culture with the Cellartis DEF-CS culture system
hES cells are suitable for all major applications; cells can form derivatives of all three germ layers when differentiated
Kits include the Cellartis DEF-CS 100 Culture System
