| Product description | Easy identification of pluripotency without compromising cell integrity | Specific and flexible identification of PSCs | Cost-effective global confirmation of pluripotency marker expression | Evaluates pluripotency and confirms trilineage differentiation potential | Alternative to g-banding karyotyping; offers whole-genome coverage for accurate detection of chromosomal abnormalities |
| How specific are the results? | Low (stains stem and progenitor cells) | Medium (stains human ES and iPS cells) | High (whole-transcriptome gene expression profile) | High (profiles expression of both PSC markers and early germ layer factors) | High |
| Will the cells remain viable? | Yes | No [1] | No | No | No |
| How long before I see results? | Stain PSCs typically in 20 minutes or less | Stain PSCs typically in 90–120 minutes | 2 days | 6–8 hours | 3–4 days |
