Pluri-digital™
Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to ask for the detection of different genes ?

Targeting different genes would imply a test redesign, customized to your needs. It is possible but at additional cost and longer lead times.

Is the test available as a kit ?

Not yet, but a kit will likely be developed in the near future to support clients who have access to a digital PCR machine in-house.

How much does it cost ?

The price is available on request and will vary depending on the quantities ordered. Bulk discounts are also available when ordering more than one type of assay at the same time.

Is this test sufficient to demonstrate that my cell line is pluripotent ?

Stem Genomics’ test is designed in accordance with ISSCR recommendations and the standards set by peer-reviewed journals for a molecular assessment of pluripotency. It helps you monitor the differentiation process of your cell line by assessing the expression of specific cell surface markers. Since these markers may also be present in other cell types (e.g. nullipotent stem cells), Stem Genomics recommends complementing the Pluri-digital™ test with a functional assay (e.g. in vitro embryoid body formation) to experimentally demonstrate pluripotency attributes prior to publication or at the end of an RUO workflow.

Can you support stem cell researchers with other useful assays that we can integrate into our QC?

In line with the ISSCR’s latest quality standard recommendations, Stem Genomics strongly suggests regularly checking the genomic stability of your stem cells during their time in culture with our digital PCR iCS-digital™ range, G-Banding and/or our NGS solution for CNV and SNV detection. Mycoplasma testing is also critical for robust science and we have a digital PCR solution called Myco-digital™ that can do that for you. Last but not least, cell authentication by STR needs to happen at critical stages in your workflow to ensure the cell line you’re working on has not been cross-contaminated or mislabeled.
