The ALDEFLUOR
® fluorescent reagent system offers a novel approach to the identification, evaluation, and isolation of stem and progenitor cells based on their expression of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), rather than cell surface phenotype.
ALDEFLUOR® IS:- Optimized for human bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, apheresis, and peripheral blood
- Used to detect stem and progenitor cells in multiple lineages including hematopoietic, mammary, mesenchymal, endothelial, and neural
- Adaptable for use with other species and cell types, including cancer stem cells
- Used to identify only viable cells with an intact cellular membrane
- Suitable for cryopreserved or fresh samples
