Obtaining enough starting material to complete multiple gene expression experiments can be challenging when working with precious and limited samples. Find out how Mark Kibschull of the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto determines pluripotency and differentiation of limited human embryonic stem cells using Bio-Rad’s SingleShot Cell Lysis Kit, PreAmp Supermix, and PrimePCR validated primer panels. This simplified workflow allows for the gene expression analysis of hundreds of genes from as little as 100 human embryonic stem cells, and without the cumbersome step of isolating and purifying RNA.
