Cord Blood Colony Atlas, 1 Booklet

An atlas from STEMCELL Technologies presents detailed color images of hematopoietic colonies derived from human umbilical cord blood progenitors grown in methylcellulose-based cultures. It provides instructions and tips for identifying and enumerating colonies from both fresh and frozen samples, and addresses issues related to red blood cell background and optimal plating densities. The content supports work in cord blood banking and stem cell biology, with a focus on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

Within the manufacturer's Proficiency Testing program, the atlas is provided to participating institutes the first time they enrol, where it assists with colony-type identification during the data submission workflow.
