The Pluripotency Check PCR Kit contains all the necessary reagents to confirm that your mouse stem or iPS cells are indeed pluripotent. It includes 16 prevalidated forward and reverse primer mixes, based on nine genes expressed in pluripotent stem cells and two control genes. The kit includes everything for start-to-finish confirmation of your cells’ pluripotency status, using any combination of primer sets, or the entire panel.
The Pluripotency Check PCR Primer Set consists of 16 prevalidated primer mixes based on nine genes expressed in pluripotent stem cells, plus two control genes. The different amplicon sizes allow you to distinguish between engogenous and exogenous expression.
