Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cell screening, in particular to a cell screening device for stem cells. Background Art

[0002] Stem cell screening refers to the separation of cells with stem cell characteristics from a variety of cells through a series of biological and genetic experimental methods.

[0003] These cells have the ability to proliferate and self-renew indefinitely and can differentiate into a variety of different cell types. The main purpose of stem cell screening is to study and treat various diseases, as well as to use them in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

[0004] When screening for stem cells, scientists typically look for specific markers, which are proteins or gene expression products unique to stem cells.

[0005] The screening process may include the following steps:

[0006] Cell culture: First, potential stem cell samples are cultured to observe whether they have the ability to self-replicate and multidirectionally differentiate;

[0007] Marker detection: Detect specific markers on the cell surface or inside through immunofluorescence staining, flow cytometry, and other methods;

[0008] Molecular biology testing: Analyze the gene expression profile and protein products of cells through PCR and other technologies;

[0009] Functional experiments: By implanting cells into animal models, we can see whether these cells can restore the function of damaged tissues or organs;

[0010] Whole-genome analysis: Use technologies such as high-throughput sequencing to comprehensively analyze the cell genome to understand its genetic stability and potential differentiation capacity.

During immunofluorescence staining, most of the time, manual shaking is performed after adding the dye. However, the frequency of manual shaking is inconsistent, which greatly reduces the mixing uniformity and adhesion of the dye and cells. Utility Model Content
