As a leader in cell culture, Corning provides advanced cell culture surfaces, vessels, media, and closed systems to ensure cell viability, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance.
Corning™ NutriStem™ hPSC XF Medium
Support hiPS and hES growth and expansion in a feeder-free environment with NutriStem hPSC XG Medium from Corning.
Enhance the single-cell culture of human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) and human embryonic stem (hES) cells in a defined, xeno- and serum-free environment. Without the need for high levels of bFGF and other stimulatory growth factors or cytokines, low-protein NutriStem medium contains only the most essential components required for successful hiPSC and hESC maintenance, growth, and downstream differentiation.
Complete and ready-to-use, NutriStem provides a simplified medium for consistent performance, as well as increased reproducibility in hPSC long-term culture.

Corning™ Matrigel™ hESC-Qualified Matrix, *LDEV-Free
Corning Matrigel matrix is a solubilized basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in extracellular matrix proteins, including Laminin (a major component), Collagen IV, heparin sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.
Quality:
- Mouse colonies routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing
- Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogens
- Tested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma
- Protein concentrations determined by Lowry method
- Endotoxin units measured by Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate assay
- Matrigel Matrix gel stability is tested for a period of 14 days at 37°C
- Biological activity is determined for each lot using a neurite outgrowth assay.
Preparation and Storage:
Store at -20°C. Avoid multiple freeze-thaws.
Guidelines for Use:

Corning™ rLaminin-521 (Human)
Support long term self-renewal of human pluroportent stem cells (hPSC) and neureal stem cells (NSCs)
Corning™ rLaminin-521 (Human) is an animal-component-free recombinant heterotrimer composed of a5, B2, and y1 chains expressed in a mammalian cell culture system. The Corning rLaminin-521 (Human) surface supports such key benefits as ROCK inhibitor independent, single-cell expansion of PSCs and inhibition of spontaneous differentiation, improving hPSC culture ease and efficiency.
A collaboration focused on bringing together better solutions for stem cell research
Corning has partnered with BioLamina for the supply of recombinant human laminin 521 (rLaminin-521), a next generation surface that enables feeder-free, single cell passaging of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) without ROCK-inhibitor. Now we've gone one step further and are working together to combine BioLamina’s expertise in recombinant laminin expression with Corning’s extensive line of vessels and proprietary surface coating technologies. This partnership brings robust and scalable expansion solutions to the emerging stem cell processing market, enabling our customers to scale-up effectively and mitigate risk.
Now backed by Corning’s large network, worldwide distribution channels, and cell culture portfolio, researchers globally have better access and availability to rLaminin-521 (Human) than ever before.
rLaminin-521 (Human) joins the Corning ECM mimetic and advanced surfaces family: animal component-free surfaces suited for stem and progenitor cell expansion under cGMP processing environments.
Falcon Cell Culture Multi-Layer Flasks
Increase productivity by enabling to grow more cells faster and easier. 3- or 5-layer formats provide 525 cm² and 875 cm² cell growth surface area, respectively
- Even distribution of media across all layers for homogeneous cell growth
- Ability to mix cells and reagents in the Falcon Multi-Flask saves time and reduces risk of contamination
- Flexible design allows to pour or aspirate/recover cells using a pipet
- Consistent surface treatment for predictable scale-up
- Lot number printed on each flask for traceability
- Manufactured in compliance to cGMP standards

PureCoat ECM Mimetic Cultureware
Create a fully defined cell culture environment-serum-, xeno-, or animal-free
Support the growth of stem and primary cells across a broad range of defined media formulations with the choice of two ECM mimetic types:
PureCoat ECM mimetic fibronectin peptide consists of RGD sequences to support the attachment of cell types that require fibronectic coating, such as alpha-5 integrin-postiive cells.
PureCoat ECM mimetic collagin I peptide supports the attachment of collagen I-dependent cell types, including alpha 2 integrin-positive cells, among others
