11-May-2006 - Identifying pluripotency with the ELF®
Phosphatase Detection Kit from ATCC®
LGC Promochem and its partner ATCC® introduce a new
phosphatase detection kit for embryonic stem cells
The new ELF® Phosphatase Detection Kit from ATCC®, now available
though LGC Promochem, offers a simple and robust method to
fluorescently detect and visualise alkaline phosphatase activity in
embryonic stem (ES) cells. The test method, which has been
optimised by scientists at the ATCC Stem Cell Center, takes only a
few minutes to perform and can be used alone or in conjunction with
other techniques to provide dual colour assessment of overall
in-vitro stem cell pluripotency. By quickly assessing the state of
ES cells, the assay allows improved reproducibility of scientific
data, enabling researchers to have increased confidence in their
results.

Kit, please contact LGC Promochem by email at askus@lgcpromochem.com.
