Gibco™ CTS™ Essential 6 Medium

CTS Essential 6 Medium is a cGMP-manufactured, xeno-free, feeder-free medium that supports the reprogramming of somatic cells and the spontaneous or directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs).

Supplier:  Gibco™ A4238501

Catalog No. A4238501

Description

• cGMP-manufactured, xeno-free, feeder-free medium that supports the reprogramming of somatic cells and the spontaneous or directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs)
• Formulation is based on a medium originally developed in the laboratory of James Thomson
• With only six essential components, CTS™ Essential 6 Medium helps minimize variability
• To complete PSC workflow with a matching culture medium for the growth and expansion of PSCs, use CTS™ Essential 8 Medium
• Provides a flexible format to suit different applications
• Facilitates regulatory filings through cGMP manufacturing and the availability of documentation
• Simplifies the transition from bench to clinic through the direct replacement of RUO Essential 6 Medium

Provides a flexible format
CTS™ Essential 6 Medium does not contain bFGF or TGFβ and so can support the formation of embryoid bodies. This medium can support the directed differentiation of various cell types and somatic cell reprogramming using a variety of methods.  

Facilitates regulatory filings
CTS™ Essential 6 Medium is manufactured at a site that uses methods and controls that conform with cGMP for medical devices, 21 CFR Part 820. Our FDA-registered manufacturing site is ISO 13485-certified.  Full documentation traceability and convenient access to our Drug Master File (DMF) are available for CTS™ Essential 6 Medium.

Simplifies transition from bench to clinic
CTS™ Essential 6 Medium contains the same six essential components as RUO Essential 6 Medium, and with its cGMP manufacturing process, this fully-defined formulation helps minimize variability.  Like RUO Essential 6 Medium, CTS™ Essential 6 Medium does not contain bFGF or TGFb, which inhibits differentiation and negatively affeCTS™ reprogramming efficiency, respectively.  With its additional safety testing, including adventitious agents, CTS™ Essential 6 Medium enables a smooth transition from RUO Essential 6 Medium.
