Custom Premix Selecting "Custom Premix" option means that all of the beads you have chosen will be premixed in manufacturing before the kit is sent to you.
FlowCellect™ Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Characterization Kit
Merck’s FlowCellect™ Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Characterization Kit provides a quantitative solution for clearly identifying human MSC cultures using flow cytometry. The kit contains four directly conjugated antibodies to phenotypically characterize hMSCs, with three positive expressing markers (CD105, CD90, and CD44), as well as one negative marker, CD19. These antibodies have been evaluated on a variety of different mesenchymal stem cell culture types such as adipocyte derived stem cells (ADSCs), bone marrow-derived hMSCs, and ES-derived hMSCs, ensuring that the kit can clearly monitor and characterize hMSC cultures from various types.
The Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Characterization Kit contains a panel of positive and negative selection markers for the characterization of the mesenchymal stem cell population in human samples Positive cell markers include antibodies directed against cell-surface molecules present on mesenchymal stem cells: CD44, CD90, STRO-1, and CD146. In addition, two specific hematopoeitic cell surface markers are provided whose expressions should not be present on mesenchymal stem cells: CD14 (present on leukocytes) and CD19 (present on B-lymphocytes).
