Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Research

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) can be identified both phenotypically, e.g., by flow cytometry and functionally, using colony-forming unit (CFU) or long-term culture-initiating cell (LTC-IC) assays. See MoreTo standardize CFU assays of human and mouse cells, perform cultures in our meniscus-free cultureware, use our rigorously tested semi-solid culture media, and count hematopoietic colonies with our automated instrument for human and mouse bone marrow, human cord blood and human peripheral blood cells. Or, before performing a CFU assay, culture your human or mouse cells in our specialized media, as part of an LTC-IC assay. Our antibodies for flow cytometry can be used for staining HSPC populations before cell sorting, or to measure engraftment following transplantation into immunocompromised mice in an in vivo repopulation assay.
