Defined Bioscience is pleased to announce the launch of ReadyCEPT™ 1000X, a new product designed to improve stem cell survival, growth, and health during critical processes such as routine passaging, cryopreservation, and freeze-thaw recovery. This product introduces a reliable solution for researchers in stem cell research and biotechnology, focusing on enhancing cell viability.
ReadyCEPT™ (also known as CEPT) combines key ingredients: chroman-1 (a ROCK inhibitor), emricasan (a pan-caspase inhibitor), polyamines (putrescine, spermine, and spermidine for cell growth), and trans-ISRIB (an ISR inhibitor), into a single formulation. Originating from research conducted at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Defined Bioscience brings the CEPT formulation to scientists worldwide. ReadyCEPT™ has shown effectiveness in improving single-cell cloning, sorting, viability, and health, particularly in genetically stable stem cell cultures. It has been noted for its positive impact on cell passaging, cryoprotection, and gene editing, with reduced off-target effects compared to similar products.
Dr. Steve Rees, CEO of Defined Bioscience, comments, "With ReadyCEPT™, we aim to provide a more effective solution for stem cell culture challenges. This product represents our commitment to supporting the research community with reliable, high-quality tools."
ReadyCEPT™ is provided as a 1000X supplement in a DMSO/water mixture, ready for use in 10- and 200-µL volumes to supplement 10 and 200 mL of culture medium, respectively. It is compatible with a wide range of formulations, including Defined Bioscience’s HiDef-B8 medium (Catalog # LSS-204), ensuring versatile application across various research settings.
Each lot of ReadyCEPT™ undergoes performance testing with HiDef-B8 medium in human iPSC culture assays, guaranteeing consistent quality and effectiveness.
