Service to confirm pluripotency and evaluate differentiation potential of human and mouse ESC and iPSC lines in vitro via Embryoid Body Formation and Characterization Assay
Features:
- A complete service that includes embryoid body formation and characterization to assess the pluripotency of your ESC/iPSC lines.
- A fast and cost-effective alternative to the more stringent teratoma formation assay. Our turnaround time is approximately 3 weeks.
- Ideal for rapid initial screenings or large sample screenings.
Service Includes:
- Culture system to induce embryoid body formation
- Collection and processing of EBs for staining (embedding, sectioning)
- IHC staining of EBs for pluripotency markers
- A full report containing high resolution, publication-grade images.
Markers:
- Ectoderm: Nestin, Beta III tubulin
- Mesoderm: Desmin, Smooth muscle actin
- Endoderm: Alpha fetoprotein
Please contact us if you require different or additional markers.
