Before buying the reagents specific for particular germ-line, I want to get a clue about the differentiation potential of my stem cells (iPSCs) in vitro. For that, what are the minimum essential components (medium + reagents) needed? Is it essential to use specialized differentiation medium at the beginning or just DMEM will work? Can we use High glucose or low glucose DMEM or Knockout DMEM is required?
Please answer.
