Xeno-free culture systems have expanded the clinical and industrial application of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). However, reproducibility issues, often arising from variability during passaging steps, remain. Here, we describe an improved method for the subculture of human PSCs. The revised method significantly enhances the viability of human PSCs by lowering DNA damage and apoptosis, resulting in more efficient and reproducible downstream applications such as gene editing and directed differentiation. Furthermore, the method does not alter PSC characteristics after long-term culture and attenuates the growth advantage of abnormal subpopulations. This robust passaging method minimizes experimental error and reduces the rate of PSCs failing quality control of human PSC research and application. An improved passaging method significantly increases the viability of human PSCs The method triggers less DNA damage and apoptosis compared to the conventional method The stress-reduced method improves the results of downstream applications The method attenuates the overgrowth of highly viable abnormal subpopulations Although chemically defined culture systems for human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are in widespread use, cell viability after passaging among PSC clones is often variable, leading to issues with reproducibility. To improve the efficiency and reproducibility of advanced PSC culture systems, we have developed an improved passaging method by optimizing procedures for cell detachment and dissociation. The revised passaging method improves cell viability and makes downstream applications more efficient and reproducible. Takahashi et al. modify the passaging method for human pluripotent stem cells cultured on recombinant matrices. The revised protocol increases cell viability by reducing DNA damage and apoptosis, improves the efficiency and reproducibility of downstream applications, and attenuates the overgrowth of abnormal cell populations.
