  • Patent number: 10522326
    Abstract: A method of locating a substrate within a field of view of an imaging system includes acquiring an image of a first marker on a substrate in the field of view. The first marker has a first spatial pattern representing a position of the first marker relative to the substrate. The method also includes determining possible positions of the substrate based on the first spatial pattern and moving the substrate relative to the field of view based on the possible positions of the substrate. The method also includes acquiring an image of a second marker on the substrate in the field of view. The second marker has a second pattern representing a position of the second marker relative to the substrate. The method further includes determining the position of the substrate relative to the field of view based on the position of the second marker on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20190359946
    Abstract: The field of the invention is cellular and molecular biology and stem cells. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to a formulation for harvesting and passaging single cell human pluripotent stem cells comprising: (i) 1 mM to about 30 mM sodium citrate; (ii) a salt comprising 10 mM to 170 mM KCl or NaCl; and (iii) Ca2+/Mg2+-free Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (DPBS), wherein said formulation has an osmolarity of about 100 mOsmol/liter to about 350 mOsmol/liter. The formulation can be used for serial passaging and dislodging of pluripotent stem cells attached to 2D tissue culture vessels or grown in 3D suspension culture (small scale and large scale bioreactors) or any other application where passaging in the form of single cell population of stem cells is needed.

  • Patent number: 10487312
    Abstract: Formulations and methods are disclosed for the harvesting and subsequent passaging of human pluripotent stem cells without the use of enzymes and/or scraping to dislodge cells from cell culture vessels. The formulations and methods permit the harvesting of cells as large clusters from the surface of various cell culture vessels including multilayer cell culture vessels. Further, the formulations and methods provide high yields of harvested cells for subsequent passaging and high post-harvest cell viability. Pluripotent stem cells passaged with the formulations according to the methods remain undifferentiated and express typical stem cell markers, while, at the same time, they retain the differentiation capability and are able to differentiate into the cells in all three germ layers and generate teratomas, even after numerous rounds of harvesting and passaging. These hPSCs also maintain normal karyotype after passaged with the formulations for extended period of time.
