Humanized mouse models, especially NSG mice, are invaluable for immunology, oncology, and regenerative medicine. But the success of these models depends on sourcing high-quality RUO CD34+ cells. The Cost of Poor Sourcing Low-quality or bead-labeled cells can produce inconsistent engraftment, … Read More

Bead Removal Pitfalls and Microscopy Checks — What “Clean” Looks Like
Ensuring that CD34+ cells are free from residual beads is more than a technical detail; it’s a matter of scientific integrity. Yet many labs underestimate how bead carryover can distort data and compromise reproducibility. The Risks of Residual Beads Flow … Read More
Interpreting Animal Engraftment Data: What Buyers Should Look For
Engraftment data from NSG models plays a pivotal role in determining the functional potency of isolated CD34+ cells. For labs evaluating new technologies or suppliers, understanding how to interpret this data can mean the difference between investing in a system … Read More
Column vs. Column-Free: Where Labs Gain Back Hours per Run
In stem cell isolation, time is as valuable as yield. Whether preparing CD34+ cells for blood banking, therapeutic application, or NSG mouse models, efficiency translates directly into reduced costs, higher throughput, and greater scientific output. Yet many labs remain constrained … Read More
Why Bead-Free CD34+ Matters for Early Engraftment in NSG Models
In the field of hematopoietic stem cell research and blood banking, the purity and quality of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are paramount. These cells form the cornerstone of regenerative medicine, bone marrow transplantation, and gene therapy research. … Read More
