Geltrex LDEV-free stem cell-qualified reduced-growth factor basement membrane matrix is a soluble form of basement membrane extracted from murine Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumors and is free of viruses, including lactose dehydrogenase elevating virus (LDEV) sometimes found in this type of preparation. Routinely used for attachment and maintenance of human iPSCs or embryonic stem cells, every lot of this matrix is quality control tested using hESCs or iPSCs to help ensure growth and pluripotency of each lot.
Features of Geltrex Reduced-Growth Factor Basement-Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free, stem cell-qualified, include:
- Every lot qualified using hESC or iPSC, helping reduce the need for customers to lot screen
- Free of lactose dehydrogenase elevating virus (LDEV), making it safe for all types of cell culture
- Consistent protein concentration lot-to-lot, helping ensure reproducible results
Gain reliability and consistency in your hESC/iPSC studies
Human hESCs/iPSCs have specific needs for attachment and maintenance and some lots of basement membrane extract may not provide adequate support. Geltrex Reduced-Growth Factor Basement-Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free, stem cell-qualified, has been tested for support of hESC/iPSC growth and pluripotency, minimizing the need to test multiple lots to find one that works. Our consistent manufacturing process helps ensure a protein concentration with very little variation from lot-to-lot, so you can have confidence in every purchase.
Free of LDEV contamination
Recent advances in processing of EHS tumor cells have resulted in virus-free basement membrane extracts. Every lot is tested by tested by RT-PCR methods so you can be confident that every lot is virus-free.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
No, the Ready-To-Use Geltrex matrix was developed for use with the StemPro hESC SFM System. It is not recommended for other PSC media systems.
For other PSC media systems, we recommend the Geltrex LDEV-Free, hESC-Qualified, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. Nos. A1413301, A1413302).

Geltrex hESC-Qualified, Ready-To-Use, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. No. A1569601) is a pre-diluted Geltrex product ready to use for coating culture vessels. There is no need to dilute the solution further. The product has also been QC tested using hESCs to ensure that every lot will maintain the attached pluripotency of these cells. The full product description can be found here:
Geltrex hESC-Qualified, Ready-To-Use, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. No. A1569601)
Geltrex LDEV-Free, hESC-Qualified, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. Nos. A1413301, A1413302) is a "concentrated" version of the Geltrex hESC-Qualified, Ready-To-Use above. You can pre-dilute this concentrated solution to pre-coat the culture vessel to grow hESCs at your desired usage concentration. This Geltrex matrix has also been QC tested using hESCs to ensure every lot will maintain the attached pluripotency of these cells. The full product description can be found here:
Geltrex LDEV-Free, hESC-Qualified, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. Nos. A1413301, A1413302)
Geltrex LDEV-Free Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. Nos. A1413201, A1413202) is the same as the product above. However, it has not been tested to verify it will support hESC growth and expansion. This is a "general" version and not specific to a cell type or line. A full product description can be found here:

We recommend thawing Geltrex LDEV-Free, hESC-Qualified, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. No. 1413301, 1413302) at 4 degrees C before making your stock solution. On ice, make a 1:1 dilution with DMEM/F-12 and aliquot into smaller volumes. Stock solution aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees C or used immediately. Once the stock solution is thawed, it should be used for coating plates immediately.

We do not have comparison data for the two Geltrex products. We recommend using the Geltrex LDEV-Free, hESC-Qualified, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix for hepatocytes. We have not performed a significant amount of testing using the Geltrex hESC-Qualified, Ready-To-Use, Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix on these cells.

'Rapid technological developments for the efficient generation of footprint-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) enabled the creation of patient-specific iPSC for downstream applications in drug discovery and regenerative medicine. However, the large number of iPSCs, generated from diverse genetic backgrounds using various methods and culture conditions, created a steep challenge

'Within the glomerulus, podocytes are highly specialized visceral epithelial cells that are part of the glomerular filtration barrier. Human podocyte cell culture is rather challenging for primary or immortalized cells, due to the nonproliferative state of the cells. In addition, rapid dedifferentiation is often observed. Hence, iPSC-derived podocytes offer an

'The kinetochore is a complex of proteins, broadly conserved from yeast to man, that resides at the centromere and is essential for chromosome segregation in dividing cells. There are no known functions of the core complex outside of the centromere. We now show that the proteins of the kinetochore have
