NutriStem® hPSC XF Medium supports superior growth and expansion of hiPSCs and hESCs.
Xeno-free and serum-free formulation
Performance-validated over long-term culture
Superb cell proliferation
Excellent maintenance of pluripotency, normal karyotype, and gene expression over time
Maximum flexibility — compatible with multiple matrices
NutriStem® hPSC growth factor (GF)-free contains no TGF or FGF, making it an ideal medium for many applications, such as reprogramming, embryoid body (EB) formation, and various differentiation assays.
Flexible and compatible with multiple applications
Facilitates transition of cells to or from complete NutriStem® hPSC culture medium
Easily modified by the addition of chosen growth factors or cytokines to create a customized complete medium
H1 cells cultured in different media for 6 passages were analyzed using flow cytometry and gene expression. Cells cultured in NutriStem® hPSC XF Medium were >90% positive for SSEA-4 and Oct-4.
hESCs cultured in NutriStem® hPSC XF medium were tested for EBs at 14 days.The 4 cell types found:
A. Neural rosetteB. Neural rosette stained with tubulin C. Primitive blood vessels D. Megakaryocytes
Recovery of H1 (61) hESCs from single-cell passage using NutriStem® hPSC XF and Recombinant Trypsin EDTA Solution on 0.5μg/cm² LaminStem™ 521. Colony morphology shown at 1 day and day 4 post-passage.
hiPSCs cultured in NutriStem® hPSC XF Medium on Matrigel™ display compact colonies and distinct colony morphology typical of hPSCs.
Find guides, references, and other resources for using and optimizing your NutriStem® hPSC XF Medium.
Explore the regulatory process and learn how to ease your path and overcome hurdles as you transition to clinical applications and scale-up.

Scientists use embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives for applications like human development and disease mechanism studies, drug screening, toxicity testing, cell therapy, and organ regeneration. There are several known methods for somatic cells reprograming – the two most common are viral and non-viral RNA- and DNA-based vectors.
Pluripotent stem cells can undergo self-renewal and to differentiate into all cells of the tissues of the body. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) fall under this definition.
