AMSBIO has introduced StemFit for Differentiation - a new chemically defined and animal component-free formulation that enables unmatched differentiation of human Induced Pluripotent Stem (hiPS) and Embryonic Stem (hES) cells.

The unique chemically defined composition of StemFitfor Differentiation minimizes lot-to-lot variation, enabling highly consistent cell differentiation. Free of animal- and human-derived components, StemFitfor Differentiation can be used to eliminate the risk of immunogenic contamination.

Applications proven to benefit from StemFitfor Differentiation include: lineage-specific (endodermal, mesodermal and ectodermal) differentiation where this new product is used to replace serum-free supplements, as well as spontaneous differentiation of hiPSCs to organoids via embryoid body formation.

Used in combination with StemFit Basic feeder-free medium with iMatrix-511 laminin as extracellular matrix, StemFitfor Differentiation enables researchers to undertake clinical applications involving both expansion and differentiation of human Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived cells and tissues.

Supplied as a 5X concentrate, StemFitfor Differentiation has been formulated for use with basal cell culture medium (e.g. DMEM, RPMI 1640, DMEM/F12 etc.) and a variety of different induction factors or cytokines (including Activin A and bFGF from AMSBIO).
