Cell line misidentification and cross-contamination have become important concerns for researchers. For example, stem cell lines can become contaminated by the mouse cell line making up the feeder layers on which stem cells are propagated.
To provide a powerful and complete system for cell line identification we developed the StemElite™ ID System, which contains all reagents required for successful identification and authentication of human stem cell lines and detection of cell line contaminants. Additionally we have incorporated a sensitive marker that specifically detects the presence of DNA from the mouse (Mus musculus). This locus has been developed to amplify with the existing human loci in the primer set provided with this system.
