Laminin isoform kit streamlines cell culture workflow
For researchers looking to optimize protocols for cell culture and differentiation of ES/iPS cells – AMSBIO has introduced the iMatrix Palette. This new kit containing all variants of their iMatrix recombinant laminin E8 fragment isoforms** saving researchers time, cost, and improving reproducibility.
Culturing human stem cells and iPS cells under feed-free conditions requires the use of ECM proteins as an anchor to promote adherence to laboratory plasticware. Unlike traditional laminin-based solutions, iMatrix E8 fragments are just 20% of the full-length laminin with all the integrin binding sites, allowing for better cell adhesion and expansion. The iMatrix series of recombinant laminin isoforms set the benchmark for differentiation of iPSCs into ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
Containing a vial of each variant, iMatrix Palette enables researchers to test and select the optimal laminin E8 variant for their specific cell culture needs, improving experimental accuracy and outcomes. In addition, iMatrix can be used in both pre-mixing and pre-coating protocols.
Designed to streamline your research by providing everything you need in an all-in-one [AA1] kit, using the iMatrix Palette also avoids unnecessary purchases of multiple individual variants thereby ensuring cost-effective experiments.
The unmatched flexibility of the iMatrix Palette kit provides researchers with precise control over cell behavior, enhancing the reproducibility and efficiency of stem cell research and differentiation protocols.
