Preliminary step Coating of the culture surface When growing human pluripotent stem cells hPSCs or multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells MSCs in defined feeder free systems the treatment of the culture surface with an adequate coating strategy is of crucial importance Usually crude preparati ons of extracellular matrices such as Matrigel BD Biosciences are commonly used However the undefined nature mouse tumor derived as well as the presence of animal derived compounds renders the use of Matrigel problematic in applications where the clinical potential of hPSC is pursued In that case the use of another coating agent StemAdhere is recommended StemAdchere is a defined matrix containing a single recombinant protein composed of entirely human sequences and can therefore be defined as Animal Component Free ACF However one disadvantage of StemAdhere comes from the fact that non tissue culture treated plates are to be used for the coating with StemAdhere Defined Matrix A third feeder free xeno free and chemically defined alternative is represented by Synthemax Surface from Corning This product has been designed to mimic a cells natural environment and has the advantage to be offered as specially treated ready to use culture plasticware It has a proven track record of good results for several hESC and hiPSC lines When switching to Synthemax an initial adaptation period may be noted but after several passages t
