NanoString nCounter Stem Cell Characterization Panel

NanoString has launched the nCounter Stem Cell Characterization Panel for the analysis and optimization of stem cell lines used in the development of novel therapeutics. The 770-gene panel is available for humans and mice, and was designed at NanoString with input from leading stem cell experts. The panel measures eight essential components of stem cell biology and provides a standardized assay for evaluating factors that influence and determine viability, functionality, and pluripotency, NanoString said.
