iPSC Characterization

iPSC generation has become increasingly easier because of advanced technology, but the characteristics of various iPSCs is depending on the source, derivation, passage and culture conditions. In order to evaluate the pluripotency, safety and confirm the identity of PSCs, it is essential to perform a set of characterization analysis. Creative Bioarray offers comprehensive iPSC characterization services designed to ensure the quality, safety, and functionality of iPSC lines for diverse research and therapeutic applications. Leveraging advanced technologies and a rigorous quality management system, these services are critical for validating iPSC pluripotency, genomic integrity, and differentiation potential.

Creative Bioarray Offers iPSC Characterization Service as Follows (including but not limited to):

  • 1. Pluripotency Validation

We offer comprehensive services for staining pluripotency and lineage-specific markers in stem cells. This includes live staining, immunocytochemistry, and gene expression analysis to accurately identify and quantify the pluripotent characteristics of stem cells.

  • 2. Genomic Stability Assessment

Our karyotyping services aim to detect genetic stability in cells. Utilizing advanced chromosome analysis techniques such as comparative genomic hybridization and multicolor FISH, we can identify potential genomic abnormalities or chromosomal variations.

  • 3. Differentiation Potential Testing

Understanding the differentiation potential of stem cells is crucial for regenerative medicine. Our services evaluate differentiation capabilities both in vitro and in vivo, including embryoid body and teratoma formation assays.

  • 4. Quality Control and Safety

Microbiological contamination testing is vital for ensuring sterility and safety in cell cultures. We provide precise mycoplasma and other pathogen testing services to ensure a contaminant-free experimental environment.

  • 5. Verification of homology

Using DNA fingerprinting, we offer validation services for the homology of starting cells to ensure consistency across cell populations, supporting high-quality experimental results.

  • 6. Verification of Exogenous Gene Silencing

Our services include detecting and verifying the silencing of exogenous gene expression to ensure the efficacy and safety of transgenic applications, supporting gene therapy research.
