Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) generation is a complex process that reprograms differentiated somatic cells into a pluripotent state similar to embryonic stem cells. Successful reprogramming requires careful vector selection and stringent validation to ensure genomic integrity, stable karyotype, and sustained pluripotency.

At Creative Bioarray, our iPSC Generation Services are enabled by our robust stem cell platform with several integration-free technologies such as Sendai virus, episomal plasmid and mRNA-based technologies. To ensure optimal results, we customize our reprogramming methods based on the initial cell type and the ultimate application, paying close attention to vector persistence and potential genomic effects

Rigorous quality control and standardized processes enable the production of well-defined, stable, and pluripotent iPSC lines, perfect for gene editing and related applications.

Our iPSC Reprogramming Service

Our iPSC Generation Services follow a standardized yet customizable workflow, covering sample qualification, reprogramming induction, clonal expansion, and comprehensive quality validation. The entire process is performed within our dedicated stem cell platform to ensure consistency, traceability, and high reproducibility.

Sample Types

We support multiple primary cell sources to maximize project flexibility:

Supported Starting Materials

  • Human: PBMCs, fibroblast, HSC, MSCs, CD34+ cord blood, urine, and more
  • Non-human: PBMC and fibroblast

After sample receipt, cells undergo viability and sterility assessment.

Samples required: 2-3 vials, 106 cells/vial

Our iPSC Reprogramming Technologies

We provide multiple integration-free iPSC generation options to meet diverse research and translational needs.

Sendai Virus Reprogramming (Non-Integrating, High Efficiency)

A widely adopted Sendai virus reprogramming service offering high efficiency and robust colony formation. The RNA-based viral system does not integrate into the genome and is gradually cleared during passaging. Ideal for disease modeling and drug discovery applications.

Episomal Plasmid Reprogramming (Footprint-Free Strategy)

A non-viral, plasmid-based approach that enables completely footprint-free iPSC generation. Suitable for long-term research where genomic integrity is critical.

mRNA-Based Reprogramming (Clinical-Oriented Approach)

A virus-free and fully integration-free strategy using synthetic modified mRNA. This method offers a high safety profile and compatibility with GMP iPSC production programs.

Comprehensive Quality Control (QC) and Validation

Comprehensive quality control and characterization can be performed based on project requirements. Available testing options include, but are not limited to:

  • Mycoplasma Testing
  • AP Staining
  • ICC/FACS for Pluripotency Markers
  • G-Band Karyotype
  • RT-qPCR for Endogenous Pluripotency gene expression
  • hPSC Scorecard Assay

Deliverables:

  • Standard: 1 clone (2 vials, 10⁶ cells/vial); additional clones available upon request.
  • Project report

Case Studies

Using our integration-free iPSC generation platform, we successfully reprogrammed human PBMCs (male donor) into high-quality induced pluripotent stem cells. The generated iPSC line was comprehensively characterized, demonstrating robust pluripotency, genomic stability, and sterility, consistent with our standardized and reproducible workflow.

  • Cell Morphology
  • Pluripotency Markers
  • Karyotype Analysis
  • Alkaline Phosphatase Staining

Cell Morphology

Typical ESC-like colony morphology observed in generated iPSCs.

Pluripotency Markers

Positive expression of OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and SSEA4 confirms pluripotent identity.

Karyotype Analysis

Normal chromosomal profile (46, XY) with no detectable abnormalities.

Alkaline Phosphatase Staining

Strong AP activity (>90% positive), indicating robust pluripotency.

Sterility Testing

Mycoplasma, bacteria, and fungi all tested negative.

Beyond iPSC generation, our platform is also equipped to transition your samples into downstream applications to quickly move from reprogramming to your desired workflow. Our iPSCs can be used for directed differentiation into lineage-specific cell types, genome editing, disease modeling, organoid formation, high throughput screening (HTS) and more.
