WORKFLOW
Maintain stem-cell populations in a suitable state before differentiation, characterization or experimental perturbation.
When selecting products, compare stem-cell type, feeder dependence, component origin, growth-factor inclusion and substrate compatibility.
Use the narrower categories to separate experimental requirements before comparing individual products. Products across this broader branch can serve different steps or use different formats.
Pluripotent stem-cell maintenance media
Ajinomoto's StemFit formulation maintains human ES and iPS cells under feeder-free conditions and includes bFGF. The page limits commercial availability to Japan and states research use only. This identity is AK02N; AK03N has a separately described composition. Substrate compatibility is not specified here.

Final groups are designed around experimental substitution requirements. Group membership is provisional until the necessary technical details have been verified for the intended experiment.
Start with your application, then verify the technical requirements against each manufacturer’s documentation.
Only one manufacturer is currently indexed in this category. Cross-manufacturer coverage is still incomplete.
