Figure 8.
hiPSC aggregates cultured in suspension with SC and PC commercial media. Light microscopy images of (a) SC TeSR-E8, (b) SC mTeSR1, and (c) SC StemMACS iPS-Brew XF showed transparent media, while (d) PC TeSR-E8, (e) PC mTeSR1, and (f) PC StemMACS iPS-Brew XF were all characterized by particle precipitation. Concerning the hiPSC aggregate culture, (g) low protein TeSR-E8 supported the culture when static conditioned, but (j) it caused hiPSC disruption when peristaltic pump conditioned. Contrarily, static and peristaltic pump conditioning of high protein media supported hiPSC aggregate culture, even if with (h,k) hiPSC aggregates more heterogeneous in size in case of mTeSR1, and (i,l) elevated amount of particles in case of StemMACS iPS-Brew XF. Scale bar = 100 µm.
