— Materials Provided —1
| Component | Volume | Storage |
| Liquid A | 400ml | Store at below -20 °C |
| Liquid B | 100ml | Store at below -20 °C |
Note: This product does not contain basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)
— Media Preparation —
StemFit Basic03 GMP is provided frozen as a 2 component set containing “Liquid A” and “Liquid B” and can be stored at below -20 °C until use. Use sterile techniques to prepare StemFit Basic03 GMP medium.
1) Before use, thaw the frozen “Liquid A” and “Liquid B” with occasionally mixing at room temperature (15-25 °C).
CAUTION : Do not thaw, “Liquid B” at 37 °C, as it accelerates the degradation of medium 2
2) Upon thawing, StemFit Basic03 GMP medium may be aseptically aliquoted and stored at below -20 °C. Thawed StemFit Basic03 GMP medium may be stored at 2-8 °C for up to two weeks. 3
Optional: We recommend storing the medium protected from light4
3) Before use, warm aliquots to room temperature and use immediately.

FAQ
- Can I switch medium from Basic04 to Basic03 GMP? We confirmed that switching from Basic04 to Basic03 or Basic03 GMP is very smooth. We recommend to switch to Basic03 GMP 2 days before passaging.
- Which bFGF can be used for expansion? Ajinomoto provides high quality, animal-origin free bFGF, however commercially available bFGF have been confirmed to work.
- Which Extracellular Matrix (ECM) is recommended? Any commercially available ECMs for hPSCs will work (e.g. iMatrix-511, Geltrex, VTN-N, LN521, Matrigel and Synthemax) .
- Can I use Basci03 GMP for clump passaging? We recommend single-cell passaging. If you do passage cells in clumps, we recommend to make small clumps and seed at low seeding density.
- How should I switch medium to Basic03 GMP?
We recommend to switch to Basic03 GMP 2 days before passaging.
Please refer to Technical Tips for more details - Can I use Basic03 GMP for non-human PSCs? StemFit medium has been developed for human PSCs, however there are reports in which primate PSCs have been cultured in StemFit medium
- Can I use Basic03 GMP for Mesenchymal stem cell or hematopoietic stem cells? No. StemFit For MSC medium is available to expand MSC.
- What’s the difference between Basic03 GMP and Basic03? Basic03 GMP corresponds to Basic03, but is manufactured under GMP guidelines by a Certified ISO 13485 facility
