FGF2-G3 (human) growth factor, LSR-101
FGF2-G3 (FGF2-STAB) is a stabilized growth factor that offers a novel way to grow FGF2-dependent cell cultures more efficiently, with fewer media changes. FGF2-G3 retains full biological activity even after five days at 37°C. The stable level of FGF2 in culture allows for a more homogenous, undifferentiated stem cell culture, while saving researchers valuable time and money, as repeated supplementation by FGF2 and every day medium change is not required.

Available as liquid or powder.

HiDef PBS/EDTA Cell Dissociation Reagent, LSR-410
Defined Bioscience’s HiDef PBS/EDTA is a defined reagent for protein-free adherent cell dissociation, for routine aggregate passaging or single cell suspension. HiDef PBS/EDTA is designed to detach cells from surfaces without impacting cell functionality or surface protein integrity, with applications in stem, tumor, and primary cell culture, among others. HiDef PBS/EDTA can also be used as a cell washing step prior to detachment using other methods, including enzymatic digestion (e.g. trypsinization). HiDef PBS/EDTA is provided as a 1x solution, 125 mL per bottle, and consists of Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS, without Ca2+ and Mg2+) pH 7.4 with 0.5 mM EDTA. Each lot of HiDef PBS/EDTA is used in combination with HiDef-B8 medium in performance testing in a culture assay evaluating using human iPSCs to confirm appropriate and consistent detachment.

HiDef-B8 400X Supplement Stem Cell Medium, LSS-204
Defined, feeder-free maintenance medium supplement for human iPS cells. HiDef-B8 400X Supplement (1.25 mL), when added to 500 mL basal media (NOT INCLUDED) , is a complete, serum-free, defined formulation designed for the feeder-free maintenance and expansion of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) in the undifferentiated state.

HiDef-B8 is available in two flexible formats:
​ • HiDef-B8 Complete Medium Kit: Includes a 400X Supplement vial and optimized ​ DMEM/F12 basal medium.
​ • HiDef-B8 400X Supplement Only: Allows the convenience of choosing a compatible basal medium.

Key Features:
​ • Unique formulation enabling flexible feeding schedules, including weekend-free​maintenance.
​ • Compatible with various matrices and passaging methods tailored to specific​applications.
​ • Contains insulin, ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, transferrin, sodium selenite, TGFB3, NRG1, and thermostable FGF2/bFGF, eliminating the need for additional components.

Compatibility and Recommendations:
Defined Bioscience recommends using its optimized DMEM/F12 basal medium (Catalog #LSB-101) for HiDef-B8. The 400X Supplement is also compatible with other DMEM/F12 formulations, supporting PSC maintenance on matrices from multiple manufacturers at coating concentrations as low as 2.4 µg/cm² (e.g., ~1:800 dilution of an 18 mg/mL stock matrix). HiDef-B8 also supports use with defined substrates.

Ready-CEPT cell viability supplement, LSS-301
Defined Bioscience’s Ready-CEPT 1000X cocktail is a defined formulation designed for improved stem cell survival and growth during routine passaging, cryopreservation, and freeze-thaw recovery. Ready-CEPT is a single-vial cocktail of chroman-1 (a ROCK inhibitor), emricasan (a pan-caspase inhibitor), polyamines (putrescine, spermine, and spermidine; polycations for cell growth support), and trans-ISRIB (an ISR inhibitor). CEPT was originally developed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where it was found to improve single-cell cloning and sorting, as well as improved viability and cell health. These benefits were well-characterized in particular for genetically stable stem cell culture, with benefits in cell passaging, cryoprotection, organoid and embryoid body (EB) formation, and gene editing, with fewer apparent off-target effects compared to other similar products on the market (e.g. Y-27632). Ready-CEPT is provided as a 1000X cocktail in a DMSO/water mixture, all using animal origin-free componentry. Ready-CEPT 1000X is provided in liquid form in 10- and 200-µL volumes, sufficient for 10 and 200 mL of CEPT-supplemented medium, respectively. This supplement can be used with a wide range of formulations, including Defined Bioscience’s fully defined HiDef-B8 medium (Catalog # LSS-204). Each lot of Ready-CEPT is used in combination with HiDef-B8 medium in performance testing in a culture assay evaluating using human iPSCs.
