Identifying Pluripotency with the Elfr Phosphatase Detection Kit

LGC Promochem and its partner ATCCR introduce a new phosphatase detection kit for embryonic stem cells

The new ELFR Phosphatase Detection Kit from ATCCR, 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.
