MilliporeSigma™ Human iPS Reprogramming Boost Supplement II

EMD Millipore’s Human iPS Reprogramming Boost Supplement II contains three proprietary small molecules (TGF-β RI Kinase Inhibitor IV, Sodium Butyrate and PS48) in amounts sufficient to supplement 350mL of human ES cell maintenance medium. When used in conjunction with the Human STEMCCA lentivirus reprogramming kits (SCR544, SCR545, and SCR548), the Human iPS Reprogramming Boost Supplement II enhances the efficiency of human iPS colony formation by 10 – 15 fold and shortens the timescale to establish fully reprogrammed colonies by 50%. The colonies formed possess the distinctive flat 2D morphology that are reminiscent of normal human ES cell colonies and can be easily passaged. Fully reprogrammed human iPS colonies that are SSEA-4-positive, TRA-1-60-positive and Hoechst-Dim are readily established in approximately 20 – 25 days.
