Stem-Molecule — CHIR99021


CHIR99021 is a selective inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase 3. CHIR99021 has been used to propagate mouse embryonic stem cells in 2i or 3i culture and is used to derive and propagate extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cell culture for mouse, human and pig.   CHIR99021 can also be used for expansion of human naïve pluripotent cells containing the genetic pluripotency reporter OCT4-ΔPE-GFP+.

Source: 
This product is manufactured in the USA using chemically-defined components and, therefore, does not contain manufacturing components such as serum or animal-derived raw materials. 

Purity: 
>99 % free base. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) analysis was used to compare peaks in infrared spectrum with those of a known standard to determine trace impurities. 

Technical Information:

 Solubility
  • DMSO — soluble in DMSO at 25 mg/mL with warming 
  • Ethanol — very poorly soluble
  • Ultrapure water (18.2 Mohm•cm)— very poorly soluble with maximum solubility estimated to be about 20-40 µM

Storage/Stability: 

Stock solutions of CHIR99021 in its concentrated form can be stored at least 6 months at -20°C and at least 12 months at -80°C from the date of manufacture with no loss of activity. For long term storage, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles by aliquoting.  Multiple freeze-thaw cycles reduce potency and, therefore, aliquoting working stocks is strongly recommended. 

Appearance: 

A sterile, aqueous, clear and colorless solution. 

Formulation: 

CHIR99021 is supplied at 25 mM in the excipient DMSO. The reconstituted solution has been filter sterilized by passing through a 0.22 micron PES membrane and tested to be negative for mycoplasma contamination.

Optimized cloning efficiency is 50–100 ng of vector with 2-fold excess of inserts.
Use 5 times more insert if size is less than 200 bp. Total volume of unpurified PCR fragments in the assembly reaction should not exceed 20%.

**To achieve optimal assembly efficiency, design ≥ 20 bp overlap regions between each fragment with equimolarity (suggested: 0.05 pmol each).

Control reagents are provided for 5 experiments.

†† If greater numbers of fragments are assembled, increase the volume of the reaction linearly by using additional NovoHelix HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix. Alternatively, pool the DNA fragments into an equimolar mix first and then re-purify these pooled equimolar fragments over a micro-column and elute with a minimum volume (~10-µl). The eluate may be reapplied to the same micro-column  membrane to improve elution of large DNA fragments without increasing the final volume..

Recommended Storage Condition:   
This assembly mixture can be stored at -20 °C for at least one year.  The enzymes remain active following at least 10 freeze-thaw cycles.
