Highly parallelized human embryonic stem cell differentiation in nanoliter chambers

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

We differentiate human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to cardiac mesodermal cells in low volume chambers (30 nL) using different time intervals for the discontinuous exchange of cell culture medium. Our chip has 64 independently addressable chambers in which the medium is exchanged automatically every 1 - 8 hours. We show that the hESC proliferation rate decreases at long medium exchange intervals (8 hours). Furthermore, we show that shorter medium exchange intervals (hourly and bihourly) during differentiation lead to a higher fluorescence intensity of the early cardiac mesoderm reporter MESP1mCherry on day 3 of differentiation.
