iPSC Generation

Compared to primary culture, iPSC-derived cells are amenable to genome editing/engineering and direct control over genetic diversity with the unlimited proliferation potential. Additionally, iPSC derived from peripheral blood or skin fibroblasts can be differentiated into certain cell types which are hard to collect directly from the donors, such as cardiomyocytes, cortical neurons, pancreatic beta cells, etc.

Creative Bioarray is dedicated to providing several viable and cost-effective methods for pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) generation. We employ advanced iPSC reprogramming factor delivery by episomal vectors, viral vectors, as well as other iPSC reprogramming methods (mRNA, protein and chemical reprogramming) to help you obtaining the desired iPSC.

Creative Bioarray offers iPSC generation service:

  • Almost 100% rate of reprogramming by optimized protocols
  • The passage ratio of iPSC is around 1:15~20, which allows to establish a large amount of cell bank
  • Generated from healthy or diseased samples
  • From skin fibroblasts, PBMCs, CD34+ cord blood, LCLs, hair follicles and more starting cell samples
  • Viable and various Integration-free and feeder-free approaches
  • Free characterization assays included, such as ICC, Karyotyping (G-banding), Teratoma Formation assay, RT-PCR for pluripotent gene expression, TaqMan hiPSC Scorecard Assay. Each of these services will be provided with a comprehensive report suitable for publications.

Workflow of iPSC Generation service:

  • Recovery, passaging, initial testing and banking of donor cells
  • Cell reprogramming with non-integrating, zero-footprint systems
  • iPSC colony picking, expansion, and cryopreservation
  • iPSC Characterization assays
  • Established iPSCs QC tests before release

Samples required: 2-3 vials, 10^6 cells/vial

Deliverables:

  • 2 iPSC clones with 2 vials per clone at 10^6 cells/vial
  • Project report

Once you receive the iPSCs from us, our dedicated specialists will share their expertise and provide ongoing support to help ease the adaptation of the cells into your experimental systems.
