Microfluidic image cytometry for single-cell phenotyping of human pluripotent stem cells

Abstract

A microfluidic human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) array has been developed for robust and reproducible hPSC culture methods to assess chemically defined serum- and feeder-free culture conditions. This microfluidic platform, combined with image cytometry, enables the systematic analysis of multiple simultaneously detected marker expression in individual cells, for screening of various chemically defined media across hPSC lines, and the study of phenotypic responses.
