Stem Cell Reprogramming
Generation of iPSCs from human cells
to meet your research needs
Are you looking to derive iPS cells from your specific donor samples?
Are you studying gene function or modeling a disease in a dish?
Are you looking for custom iPSC-derived cells?
A complete suite of services
Our custom reprogramming and characterization services empower you to focus on your research interests and not use up your valuable time and resources generating cells
Simply send us your donor cells (fibroblasts or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)) and we'll use cutting edge reprogramming technologies (non-integrating episomal or Sendai virus reprogramming) to produce induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) within a short period of time (usually 2 to 3 months)
If you are struggling to find the right donor cells for reprogramming, we can also help you source fibroblasts and PBMCs with a wide range of donor backgrounds from our established network.
Once you receive the iPSCs from us, our dedicated specialists will share their expertise and provide ongoing support to help ease the adaptation of the cells into your experimental systems.
What we can do for you
Our reprogramming service includes:
- ✓ Recovery, passaging, initial testing and banking of donor fibroblasts or PBMCs
- ✓ Cell reprogramming with non-integrating, zero-footprint systems:
i. Episomal vectors or ii. CytoTune™-iPS 2.0 Sendai virus - ✓ Analysis of pluripotency using immunocytochemistry and TaqMan hiPSC Scorecard Assay
Additional 'add-on' services include:
- ✓ Human pathogen testing
- ✓ Short-Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling
- ✓ qPCR analysis for pluripotency markers
- ✓ Karyotyping (G-Banding)
- ✓ Provision of more than one iPSC colony from a single donor
- ✓ Assesment of reprogramming vector clearance
- ✓ Checking expression of additional marker genes by immunocytochemistry
- ✓ Sequencing genomic regions of interest
Related services:
- ✓ Sourcing donor fibroblasts and PBMCs
- ✓ Adapting your iPSCs from a feeder layer to a feeder-free system
- ✓ iPS cell diffferentiation to multipe important cell lineages and supply of ready-to-use/cryopreserved cells
- ✓ Genome editing and creation of isogenic cell lines with CRISPR-Cas9
