The Umbilical Cord Dissociation Kit, human allows for the gentle and efficient generation of single-cell suspensions from human umbilical cord. It is not a certified GMP product, but has been specifically developed to enable a quality control of frozen umbilical cord samples for umbilical cord tissue banks by detecting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) directly after dissociation by flow cytometry without long-term culture of the cells. Moreover, cells can also be used in downstream applications, including cell culture and molecular analysis.
