The Pluripotency Check PCR Kit contains all the necessary reagents to confirm that your mouse embryonic stem (ES) or induced pluripotent (iPS) cells are indeed pluripotent. It includes 16 prevalidated forward and reverse primer mixes, based on nine genes expressed in pluripotent stem cells and two control genes. The different amplicon sizes allow you to distinguish between endogenous and exogenous expression. The kit includes everything for start-to-finish confirmation of your cells’ pluripotency status, using any combination of primer sets, or the entire panel.
Overview
Validate the pluripotent status of your ES or iPS cell culture using a simple PCR kit
16 prevalidated PCR primer mixes
Complete kit with RNA extraction, reverse transcription, and PCR reagents
Confirm your iPS cells by differentiating between endogenous and exogenous gene expression
