AlphaSTEM® Culture Substrate
Cat.-Nr.: MC01360
Description
AlphaSTEM® Culture Substrate is a mouse monoclonal antibody that provides a defined surface for feeder-free generation and expansion of naive pluripotent stem cells. AlphaSTEM® Culture Substrate binds to the MUC1* growth factor receptor that is expressed on all pluripotent human stem cells. When used with AlphaSTEM® Naive hPSC Medium, AlphaSTEM® Culture Substrate has been proven to supports the naïve state in human stem cells and can also be used during reprogramming for high efficient generation of naïve induced pluripotent stem cells.
