Instrument-based Proliferation Assays
Instead of detecting differentiation, CFU-equivalent assays directly measure cell proliferation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Proliferation occurs prior to differentiation and therefore results from CFU-equivalent assays are obtained already after 5-7 days instead of 10-14 days.
All our CFU-equivalent assays incorporate Suspension Expansion Culture (SEC™) technology instead of methylcellulose. They are all instrument-based using either a bioluminescence, fluorescence or absorbance readout. SEC™ technology significantly reduces dispensing errors associated with methylcellulose, but also allows cell interactions to occur that results in shorter lag times to initiate proliferation.
