Product description: iMatrix-511 is a recombinanthuman laminin-511 E8 fragment protein expressed inChinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)-S cells. iMatrix-511
contains the integrin-binding site of the laminin-511
molecule. iMatrix-511 is a useful cell culture substrate
for feeder-free culture and single-cell passage of EScells and iPS cells, facilitating stable culture expansion.
iMatrix-511 is also useful for the culture of other cells
adhering to laminin-511.
Content: Recombinant humanfragment protein in PBS(-)

Storage: Store at 2°C to 15°C, protect from light.
Expiration date: The shelf life is 2 years from the dateof manufacture. The expiration date is printed on theouter carton.
Activity: The dissociation constant (Kd) for the binding
with integrin α6β1 is 1 nM or less.
Methods of use: By either of the following methods,iMatrix-511 can be coated onto a culture vessel. The
optimum coating density may differ by cell-type, cellline, medium selected, or purpose. Insufficient coating
density may result in the detachment of cells andvaried cell conditions while the excessive coating
density may lead to difficulty in detaching cells forpassage.
A. Pre-coating method
Determine the optimal coating density. 0.5 μg/cm2 is astandard but test between 0.1 and 1.5 μg/cm2.
1) Dilute iMatrix-511 with PBS(-). Use the dilutediMatrix-511 immediately. To coat with 0.5 μg/cm2
onto a 6-well plate with 9.6 cm2/well, dilute 9.6 μL
of iMatrix-511 with 2 mL of PBS(-) per well.
2) Place the diluted iMatrix-511 into a culture vessel
and incubate either at 37°C for 1 h, or at room
temperature for 3 h, or at 4°C overnight.
3) Aspirate the coating solution. Then, immediately
seed your cells. Do not allow the coated surface todry.

B. Pre-mixing method
Determine the optimal coating density for cell culture.
The standard density is 0.25 μg/cm2 but test between
0.1 and 1.5 μg/cm2. The optimal coating density may beaffected by the medium and cell density of the cellsuspension.
1) Add iMatrix-511 to the cell suspension. To coat with
0.25 μg/cm2 onto a 6-well plate with 9.6 cm2/well,
add 4.8 μL of iMatrix-511 to 2 mL of the cellsuspension per well.
2) Place the cell suspension containing iMatrix-511
into a culture vessel.
*If you face difficulties in detaching cells for passage,
re-adjust the conditions (e.g., reduce the coatingdensity).
