Synthemax® II-SC Substrate

This "Self-Coating" (SC) formulation is exceptionally versatile, allowing researchers to apply a synthetic vitronectin-mimetic peptide to almost any culture vessel, including standard plasticware and glass surfaces. It is the definitive choice for labs moving toward xeno-free conditions for mesenchymal, embryonic, or induced pluripotent stem cell research.

Features:

• Xeno-Free & Chemically Defined: Eliminates the risks of contamination and variability associated with animal-derived matrices (like Matrigel®)
• Self-Coating Versatility: Easily coats various surfaces, including microplates, flasks, and glass coverslips, without the need for complex incubation steps
• Maintains Pluripotency: Supports the expansion of undifferentiated stem cells for numerous passages while maintaining a normal karyotype
• Directed Differentiation: Optimized to support the transition of stem cells into specialized lineages, including cardiomyocytes and neural cells
• Strict Quality Control: Each lot is traceable, irradiated for sterility, and functionally tested to ensure consistent performance
• Environmentally Conscious: Manufactured in facilities covered by 100% renewable energy certificates (EACs)

Application Insight:

Synthemax® II-SC is a direct replacement for various older coating technologies. Because it is synthetic, it provides a "cleaner" signal for researchers performing high-resolution imaging or omics-based analysis, as there are no background animal proteins to interfere with results.

IMPORTANT: To maintain optimal peptide activity, this product must be stored at -20°C. It is non-returnable once purchased due to the temperature-sensitive nature of the substrate.
