Metabolic rate monitoring of undifferentiated iPS cells and expression analysis of differentiation markers
Since the state of undifferentiated iPSCs is a major factor in the quality and efciency of subsequent processes such as freezing stock and differentiation induction, it is necessary to understand the constantly changing state of the cells to carry out culture operations at the best possible time. PHCbi developed the Live cell metabolic analyzer, which can
continuously measure glucose and lactate concentrations in the culture medium in common, commercially-available, 24-well plates through in-line monitoring. This allows changes in cell state over time to be quantified.
