Gene Expression Profiling

Stem cells exhibit unique molecular profiles that are characteristic of cell state, cell type and disease. Gene expression analysis (the quantitative & qualitative measurement of mRNA) allows researchers to investigate several biological activities:

  • Rapid turnaround time with results in less than 4 hours.
  • Highly sensitive to detect down to 1 colony-forming unit in x mls of cell lysate.
  • Sequence-specific PCR primers and probes ensures greater discrimination in detecting target pathogens in complex biological samples.
  • Simplified workflow with one standard protocol for multiple organisms.

TaqMan® probe-based real-time PCR assays are a rapid, sensitive and quantitative method to measure the up and down regulated genes in as little as 1 colony-forming unit. The TaqMan Gene Expression Assays workflow is fully integrated and comprised of five major steps:

Dynabeads® SSEA-4
hESC can be differentiated into neural-, mesenchymal- and hematopoetic stem cells. This product is intended for the magnetic depletion of SSEA-4+ undifferentiated ESC from a differentiated cell population to increase purity and enable safer cell therapies. The purified differentiated cells are bead- and antibody free and are suitable for any downstream application.

Dynal® CD34 Progenitor Cell Selection System
Use this kit to isolate a high purity and yield of human CD34+ progenitor stem cells. Positively isolated cells are bead and antibody-free, phenotypically unaltered and suitable for any downstream applications including flow cytometry, functional studies and cell culture to produce dendritic cells (DC’s).
