A specific video tutorial on using the TE assays is not yet ready. Please scroll down and check out the QuickGuide and Technical Manual (if available). Below, is the link to perform the fluorescence readout:
How to Perform a Fluorescence-Based Readout (for HemoFLUOR TE)
- Rapidly predict and measure the time to neutrophil, erythroid and/or platelet engraftment after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
- To promote "Best Practice Criteria Testing."
- Uses a resazurin (alamarBlue™) reagent that is added in a single step to produce a pink/red fluorescence as the resazurin is converted to fluorescent resorufin (excitation filter, 560nm; emission filter 590nm in a fluorescence plate reader or multimode plate reader).
- Measure the ability and amount of GM-CFC, BFU-E and/or Mk-CFC progenitor cell proliferation prior to detecting differentiated cells in a CFU assay.
- Proliferation of progenitor cells can be detected within 5 days.
- Allows for the detection of individual hematopoietic progenitor cell populations or all three simultaneously after transplantation.
- Faster, easier and more accurate to use than any traditional CFC assay, even with automated colony counting.
- Incorporates methylcellulose-free, Suspension Expansion Culture™ (SEC™) Technology.
- Rapid, accurate and cost-effective.
- Available with low serum or serum-free formulations.
- Umbilical cord blood
- Peripheral blood
- 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.
For Research Use Only. Not for clinical diagnostic use.
Fluorescence or multimode plate reader with an excitation filter of 560nm and an emission filter of 590nm.
