HALO® TE - Uses, Benefits and Characteristics
- No need to wait for >500 neutrophils/µL and 50,000 platelets/µL of blood after transplantation. HALO® TE can predict the production of neutrophils, platelets and/or red blood cells.
- No 14 day cultures. Just a short 5 day incubation that can predict engraftment.
- Perform multiple time prior to actual engraftment. Especially important for cord blood, which requires longer to engraft than bone marrow or mobilized peripheral blood.
- No tedious colony counting required. Cell proliferation data provides rapid, efficient and reliable information.
- Suspension Expansion Culture™ (SEC™) Technology allows high accuracy and precision and rapid dispensing of reagents making the use of methylcellulose obsolete.
- Incorporates ATP Bioluminescence Technology, the most sensitive and accurate readout available.
- Fully standardized, verified and validated readout according to FDA guidelines.
- Proficiency testing performed and completed during assay standardization procedure. No additional costly and time-consuming proficiency testing required.
- Measurement assurance parameters provide proficiency and trust in your results.
- Correlates with CFU assay; multiplexes with flow cytometry and other readouts.
- 96-well plate format ensures smaller sample and reagent volumes with faster setup.
- Let the plate reader acquire and calculate results in just 5 minutes or less.
- Directly compare potential engraftment of different donor tissues in patients to provide qualified historical data over time.
- Includes everything needed to culture and measure lineage-specific or tri-lineage engraftment. Just prepare and add cells.
- Time-efficient and highly cost-effective.
- Easy to learn in just 1 day.
No additional proficiency testing is required if the calibration and standardization procedure is performed. The values you obtain from each calibration and standardization can be logged and used for certification that the assay has been performed correctly and that the results are trustworthy.

- P-BFU 1 for erythroid engraftment.
- P-GM 1 for neutrophil engraftment

- Bone marrow biopsy
Tissues Used for Detection
- Peripheral blood
- Bone marrow biopsy
The recommended cell purity is a mononuclear cell (MNC) fraction. A total nucleated cell (TNC) fraction is not recommended as this contains high concentrations of cell impurities, such as red blood cells, neutrophils, platelets and other cells that severely underestimate and even inhibit the detection of progenitor cells.
