						 Human Pluripotent  Stem Cells (hPSCs) constitute a unique tool for disease modeling and functional  genomics. Such applications require the generation of cell clones established by  repetitive cycles of tissue growth, dissociation, and re-seeding. These cloning cycles are time-consuming  and increase the likelihood of genetic instability. We defined feeder-free culture  conditions on Matrigel in Stem-Flex medium to establish a single-cell cloning  workflow using Fluorescent  Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). The workflow relies on the Stem-Flex medium  supplemented with a conditioned medium and allows the efficient  cloning of newly reprogramed and established human induced pluripotent stem cells lines. This workflow is an efficient and cost-effective method  for the rapid derivation of stem cell clones after reprogramming or gene editing... View more»
