Alkaline Phosphatase Detection Kit ES Cell Characterization Kit
The Alkaline Phosphatase Detection Kit is a specific and sensitive tool for the phenotypic assessment of ES cell differentiation based upon Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) activity. Endogenous AP of undifferentiated ES cells can be readily detected by intense staining following the recommended staining procedure.
ES Cel Characterization Kit
The ES Cell Characterization Kit contains reagents for the determination of Alkaline Phosphatase activity and for the detection of SSEA-1, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60 and TRA-1-81 expression. A combinatorial analysis of marker expression using this kit enables a more accurate assessment of stem cell phenotype, compared to assessment based on single stem cell markers.
| Alkaline Phosphatase staining of ES cells. High magnification of undifferentiated (A) and differentiated murine ES cells (B & C) following Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) staining using the ES Cell Characterization Kit. Results show diminished AP expression by differentiated cells, as indicated by a decrease in staining intensity following ES cell differentiation. |
