DescriptionEZ-LiFT™ Stem Cell Passaging Reagent
Background InformationA common problem associated with the routine culture of human pluripotent stem cells, including ES and iPS cells, is the unwanted spontaneous differentiation of cells. Without manual intervention, differentiated cells proliferate quickly and eventually diminish the overall quality of the pluripotent stem cell culture. Manual removal of differentiated cells is laborious and time consuming, making it difficult to process multiple hES/iPS cell lines simultaneously. Moreover, the risk for contamination is present each time the culture is subjected to this clean-up process.

EZ-LiFT™ Stem Cell Passaging Reagent is a proprietary enzyme-free and chemically defined stem cell dissociation reagent that selectively passages only undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells. The reagent eliminates the need for manual removal of differentiated cells and produces high cell viability without the need for ROCKi. By nature of its selectivity for undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells, EZ-LiFT can be used to rescue highly differentiated hES/iPS cultures, thus enabling the recovery of precious samples and time.

EZ-LiFT does not suffer from the drawbacks of other enzyme-based dissociation reagents such as Dispase, Collagenase IV and Accutase. The disadvantages of enzyme-based reagents are that they still require manual removal of differentiated cells, suffer from lot-to-lot variability and may carry the risk for karyotypic abnormalities.

Features and Benefits

• Enzyme-free and chemically defined formulation: Produces consistent results.
• Enriches for pluripotent stem cell populations: No manual clean-up required.
• Rescues highly differentiated hES/iPS culture: Saves precious samples and time.
• Gentle on cells with high cell survival rates: ROCKi is optional, but not required.
