Essential 6™ Medium is a feeder-free and xeno-free medium that supports the reprogramming of somatic cells and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). The formulation is based on a medium originally developed by Guokai Chen et al. (1) in the laboratory of James Thomson and published as "E8." Essential 6™ Medium has been proven to support somatic cell reprogramming using a variety of methods, including episomal vectors (2) and CytoTune™ (Sendai virus). In addition, Essential 6™ Medium can be used as a base for the formulation of custom media for the culture of PSCs. Essential 6™...

Essential 8™ Medium (published as E8) is a xeno-free and feeder-free medium specially formulated for the growth and expansion of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Originally developed by Guokai Chen et al. (1) in the laboratory of James Thomson (published as "E8") and validated by Cellular Dynamics International, Essential 8™ Medium has been extensively tested and is proven to maintain pluripotency in multiple iPSC lines. In addition, Essential 8™ Medium has been used to scale up production of iPSCs and has been shown to support iPSC growth for >50 passages without any signs of karyotypic a...
