Non-destructive analysis of embryonic stem cells within a growing culture by Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) (CAT#: STEM-ST-0038-WXH)

Introduction

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst, an early stage of the developing embryo lasting from the 4th to 7th day after fertilization. In normal embryonic development, they disappear after the 7th day, and begin to form the three embryonic tissue layers.
These stem cells are being used in drug development, toxicology testing, and disease reversal, as well as to grow healthy new tissue to heal injuries.
