MSCFluor™: A fluorescence research assay for mesenchymal stroll cells (MSC) 
 
 
  • Measures viability and proliferation of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC).
  • Compare MSC characteristics of naive and passaged MSCs over time.
  • Combine directly with phenotypic analysis by flow cytometry.
  • Replaces the colony-forming unit - fibroblast (CFU-F) assay.
  • Experimental transplantation and regeneration models.
  • Effects of growth factors/cytokines.
  • In vivo to in vitro assay.
  • Gene targeting assays.
  • Replaces the CFU-F assay.
  • Non-subjective, instrument-based and quantitative.
  • Includes high performance MSCGroâ„¢ Medium.
  • Multiplexes with bioluminescence assays.
  • Combine or multiplex directly with flow cytometry by labeling the same cells in culture after performing MSCFluorâ„¢.
  • Results in about 3-5 days depending on species and origin of MSC.
  • Allows the cells to be detected and characterized by flow cytometry using other excitation and emission wavelengths.
  • Simple, Time efficient and cost effective.
