Product Summary
Pluripotent stem cells encompass both embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which are terminally differentiated cells reprogrammed into a pluripotent state. ES/iPS cell differentiation into ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm lineages is essential for the subsequent formation of downstream tissue-specific cell types, many of which yield promise for use in regenerative medicine. However, inefficient or inconsistent differentiation represents a costly and time-consuming obstacle for stem cell research. With these challenges in mind, R&D Systems offers StemXVivo Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation Kits to facilitate the reliable and efficient differentiation of human ES/iPS cells into ectodermal, mesodermal, or endodermal cell types. These kits include specialized media containing premium quality recombinant proteins to reduce experimental variation and a marker antibody to verify efficient differentiation.
Features
- Yields highly enriched differentiated cell populations in 3-4 days
- Efficiently and reproducibly induces differentiation using optimized growth factors and supplements
- Contains a marker antibody to verify differentiation status
- Involves validated and straightforward procedures
