Bioenergetic analysis of suspension cells: hematopoietic stem cells and lymphocytes
A real time assay that quantifies the ATP and biosynthetic demands of immune cell proliferation, differentiation and effector function.
Normal suspension cells, such as hematopoietic cells and lymphocytes are responsible for supplying oxygen to the body and protecting the host. Cellular metabolism is markedly dynamic in immune responses during proliferation and immune effector functions...

Stem cell biology is of prime importance in regenerative medicine, and the understanding of aging and age-related disorders, and related therapies. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of genetic and environmental modulation of mitochondria and cellular metabolism, whereby these factors are integral in the maintenance and differentiation of stem cells.
The XF Analyzer generates data that can provide new understanding in relation to stem cell biology and mitochondrial dysfunction, by measuring cellular metabolism in real-time. By measuring the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) – an indication of mitochondrial respiration; as well as the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) - a measure of glycolysis, you will be provided with the most physiologically relevant in vitro measurement for your bioenergetic studies.
