Screening Assay for PSC Responses to Substrates

January 2011

An automated imaging-based screening assay for assessing stem cell pluripotency is described. Researchers from Nikon and the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine use a Nikon BioStation CT with CL-Quant software to perform stem cell pluripotency maintenance assays in experiments testing feeder cell-free culture vessel substrates. Such commercially available substrates provide a number of process standardization benefits.
