hPSC Scorecard analysis software

Access, report, and share data in minimal time

Because the software is web based, you can securely access and retrieve data anywhere internet access is available. Once logged in, you can build projects and reports from one or from many experiments to quickly share your results with others.

Features of the software include:

Scorecard A simple-to-interpret summary of gene expression level data that confirms pluripotency or indicate germ layer bias of your sample		Scores Box & Whisker Plot View samples scores (color) in relation to the range of scores for the undifferentiated reference set (gray).		Heat Map Colors indicate the fold change in expression relative to the undifferentiated reference set for each gene.
Correlation Plot See how gene expression levels correlate between samples		Assay QC Perform a quick quality control check to make sure your sample amplified as expected		Reports Build customized reports to easily communicate your results with collaborators

Identify lines with trilineage differentiation potential

Include spontaneously, differentiated embryoid body (EB) samples, to quickly determine whether your cell line is biased towards one or more of the three germ layers (endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm)

Confirm pluripotency with minimal effort

Curious about the quality of your undifferentiated cells? The hPSC Scorecard analysis software not only verifies the appropriate expression of the self-renewal factors, but also detects expression of germ layer-specific genes.

Compare results to a common reference set

The analysis algorithm is based on published work (Bock et al. Cell 144:439–452 (2011)) and was tested against multiple human ES and iPS lines. The cloud-based software allows researchers anywhere in the world to compare their results against the same reference data.
