The ALDEFLUOR™ fluorescent reagent system offers a novel approach to the identification, evaluation, and isolation of stem and progenitor cells based on their expression of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), rather than cell surface phenotype.
A simple and rapid method to detect viable normal and cancer stem & progenitor cells!
The ALDEFLUOR™ reagent system is a non-immunological methods to identify human stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow, peripheral blood, apheresis collections and umbilical cord blood on the basis of their aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity.
Why Choose ALDEFLUOR™?
Detects normal and malignant precursor cells across multiple lineages, including hematopoietic, mammary, brain, head and neck, lung, liver, pancreas, cervix, ovaries, bladder, prostate, colon and thyroid regions
Non-toxic, allowing for the downstream analysis of ALDHbr cells
Compatible with immunophenotyping and counterstaining of cells with other fluorescent antibodies
Highly reproducible, easy-to-use, and has a long reagent shelf life.
