Additional information

Current protocols for the directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESC) tend to be inefficient and irreproducible. This innovative paper combines efficient oxygen controlled differentiation described in previous publications (Mondragon-Teran et al., 2009 and 2011 DOIs:10.1002/btpr.248 and 10.1002/btpr.675) with reproducible automation technology. We present a novel technology which controls the gaseous environment (O2, CO2 and temperature) during both the liquid handling and incubation stages of differentiation, meaning that cells are not repeatedly exposed to deleterious ambient conditions during lengthy cell culture protocols. The result is a significant step towards standardised and efficient processing of cells for human therapy.
