Mesenchymal Stroma Cell (MSC) Assays
For regenerative medicine applications, the "quality" and potency of the MSCs are of paramount importance. MSC "quality" is measured by proliferation ability, while potency is measured by proliferation potential, two properties that help define und characterize stem cells. Use a quantitative MSC proliferation assay to characterize an MSC-derived, regenerative medicine product.
MSCGlo™ assays include your choice of medium:
- CRUX RUFA Human Platelet Lysate
- MSCGro Low serum complete medium for Human, Primate, Rat or Mouse
- MSCGro Serum-free, xeno-free complete medium for Human, Primate, Rat or Mouse
- MSCGro Humanized complete medium
- MSCGro medium (Low serum or Serum-free) for Canine or for Equine MSCs on request
MSCGlo™ QC
ATP bioluminescence MSC quality assays to monitor cell processing, cryopreservation and purification methods
- MSCGlo™ QC (MSCGlo™-96 HuQC) determines "quality", that is the ability of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to proliferate
- Instrument-based, incorporating an external standard and controls for assay standardization and validation
- Compare results over time for intra- and inter-laboratory studies
- Assay can usually be completed in 5-7 days of culture depending on the batch of MSCs

MSCGlo™ SC-IPS/Potency
ATP bioluminescence assays for in-house RS + MSC samples to determine Stem Cell Identity, Purity and Strength (SC-IPS)
- MSCGlo™ SC-IPS/Potency (PQR) is the only reference standard-based potency assay for mesenchymal stem/stromal cells commercially available
- MSCGlo™ SC-IPS/Potency is based on the same proven principles of measuring potency of lympho-hematopoietic stem cells as HALO® SC-IPS/Potency
- Includes additional standards and controls which, together with the reference standard, allows the assay to be validated

MSCGlo™ Real Time
Real time, non-lytic bioluminescence assay to monitor cell processing of mesenchymal stroma cells
- Watch MSCs grow over 2-3 days by taking bioluminescence readings at any times you like
- Use a non-lytic, bioluminescence assay; thus compatible with downstream applications:
e.g flow cytometric analysis with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies (CD73+, CD90+, CD105+ and/or CD106+) to observe changes in phenotypic markers with time - Choose your most suitable MSC medium: MSCGro medium or CRUX RUFA Human Platelet Lysate
