Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated by the ectopic expression of one or more genes to reprogram adult cells. They are capable of unlimited self-renewal and can differentiate into almost any cell type when given a suitable microenvironment. In a large number of studies related to iPSCs, the in vitro culture of iPSCs is the foundation and basic technology for all research. BioVenic conducts in-depth research on the composition of culture media, growth factors and extracellular matrix to provide customers with advanced and reliable solutions for the development of cell culture systems. We support researchers worldwide by providing qualified, high-quality culture systems to generate and expand iPSCs in vitro, maintain cell viability, and determine differentiated cell types.

Background

Since its discovery, induced pluripotent stem cell technology has become a research hotspot in the fields of animal tissue engineering and veterinary regenerative medicine. The importance of their environmental conditions for in vitro survival has also received widespread attention. Excellent culture conditions not only support the intact maintenance of its totipotent form, but also facilitate its directed differentiation into the required adult cells. At the same time, iPSCs require stringent culture media and passage methods to maintain a healthy and undifferentiated state. This requires their maintenance by a culture system when cultured in vitro. BioVenic develops cell culture systems to regulate key cell life activities such as reprogramming, protection and differentiation, ensuring their effective use in animal disease research, veterinary drug discovery and normal animal development research.

Media Formulation Development

BioVenic develops dedicated high-quality culture media for each step of the entire in vitro application process of iPSCs. For integrative reprogramming or non-integrative reprogramming, basic in vitro proliferation and differentiation into various adult cells, our animal cell culture media design and development technology laboratory provides professional advice and reliable solutions according to customer needs. We select exclusive culture systems and solutions for customers to achieve target iPSC applications, scalability, and performance stability.

iPSC Maintenance and Culture

BioVenic offers a range of maintenance systems designed to support iPSCs in maintaining pluripotency throughout the expansion process and prior to differentiation. We have extensive expertise in developing and manufacturing advanced feeder-dependent and feeder-free culture systems to support our customers' individual research goals. We have designed fully integrated culture processes to maintain pluripotency in vitro, ensuring strict quality control at every stage.

Culture System Features
Feeder-dependent
  • Nutritious and reliable.
  • Stably supports PSC growth and maintains pluripotency.
  • Suitable for basic research projects.
  • Animal origin, may contain foreign substances.
  • The process is cumbersome and the passage time is long.
  • Trophoblast cells need to be obtained and prepared.
  • Suitable for small-scale operations.
Feeder-free
  • No need to prepare and remove trophoblast cells.
  • Suitable for large-scale culture and high-throughput experiments.
  • More stable performance.

Culture Condition Optimization

BioVenic offers customized services for customer groups seeking to improve the performance of their existing iPSC culture media or culture systems. We have expertise in developing reliable pluripotent stem cell culture media that support pluripotency. We also have extensive project experience in improving and optimizing culture protocols. We select growth factors that maintain pluripotency from various expression systems based on the customer's ultimate goal. Our service also includes the selection of serum substitutes to increase biological activity and stability during cell growth and to ensure consistency in downstream experiments.

Cell Contamination Control

BioVenic effectively addresses common contamination issues encountered during in vitro cell culture in animal cell laboratories, particularly with the more delicate animal iPSCs. Across all cell culture related services, we help our clients overcome and prevent the negative consequences associated with contamination. These consequences include changes in cell status, reduced reproducibility of experimental results, and potential cell death. We closely monitor contamination and maintain strict quality control of animal cells and related products. Contamination of the culture system affects the survival and pluripotency of iPSC cultures, and mycoplasma negatively affects differentiation experiments, resulting in the waste of valuable reagents and samples. We use the contamination control platform to identify and improve bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma in the culture system to create an in vitro culture environment for iPSCs with consistent pH, osmotic pressure, and absence of endotoxins.

Cell Contamination Mycoplasma Contamination
  • Slow growth rate, decreased vitality, and easy detachment.
  • Cell morphology changes.
  • During the cultivation process, the culture medium quickly turns yellow, indicating a high concentration of invisible microorganisms multiplying in the culture fluid and consuming nutrients.
  • Under the microscope, a large number of debris is visible in the culture medium that is not turbid.
  • Cells tend to clump together.
Bacterial Contamination
  • Under the microscope, a large number of spherical particles can be seen floating in the culture medium.
  • The cell culture medium quickly becomes cloudy in a short period of time.
  • The culture medium does not appear turbid when left standing, but a significant amount of turbid matter floats up when slightly shaken.
  • Cells stop growing and die in large numbers.
Fungal Contamination
  • Under a microscope, crisscrossing filamentous, dendritic, or tubular hyphae may be observed between cells or in the culture medium.
  • Light yellow or white floating objects will form in the cell culture medium, which are visible to the naked eye, but the culture medium will not become cloudy in the short term.
  • Most hyphae can be observed under high magnification in chain-like arrangements, while Candida and yeast strains appear oval and scattered on and around the cells.

Animal iPSC Culture Tips

  • Select high quality growing equipment and ingredients.
  • Inspect and clean equipment regularly
  • Optimize media formulation
  • Improve operating procedures
  • Monitor cell density regularly
  • Verify pluripotency before differentiation
