Stemcell, 01700, ALDEFLUOR™ Kit

Identify and isolate viable cells expressing aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) with the ALDEFLUOR™ Kit. Compared to traditional methods, this assay does not require antibody staining.

High ALDH expression has been reported for normal and cancer precursor cells of various lineages. The ALDEFLUOR™ assay is a widely published non-immunological method for the detection of ALDH-bright (ALDHbr) cells and can be used to detect cancer cells in hematopoietic, mammary, endothelial, mesenchymal, neural, and other tissues.

ALDEFLUOR™ DEAB Reagent and ALDEFLUOR™ Assay Buffer, included with the kit, support the optimal performance of the assay and are also available for purchase individually.

The kit is compatible with standard flow cytometers for performing downstream analysis of ALDHbr cells and with standard cell sorters for further purification and characterization.
