CytoSelect™ 96-Well Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cell Assay (96 assays)

• Description:

  Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are well-characterized, tissue-specific stem cells that are responsible for the lifelong maintenance of the hematopoietic system. HSCs or hematopoietic progenitors known as colony-forming cells (CFCs) proliferate to form discrete colonies when cultured in a suitable 3D environment, such as methylcellulose supplemented with nutrients and cytokines. Our CytoSelect™ 96-Well Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cell Assay promotes the formation of HSC colonies in just 7-10 days. Cells can then be either quantified in a fluorescence plate reader or recovered from the semisolid medium for further downstream analysis.
