How to Setup HALO®, HemoFLUOR™ or HemoLIGHT™ Hematopoietic Research Assays
How to Perform a Absorbance-Based Readout (for HemoLIGHT™ Research Assays)
Please navigate to HALO® or HemoFLUOR™ to see how to perform an ATP bioluminescence or absorbance readout.
- Determine viability, proliferation ability and potential.
- Compare hematopoietic cell populations from different species.
- Replace hematopoietic colony-forming cell (CFC) assay applications.
- Experimental transplantation models.
- Measure effects of growth factors/cytokines.
- In vivo to in vitro assay concordance.
- Gene targeting assays.
- Uses a colorimetric/absorbance ELISA plate reader, available in most laboratories.
- No colony counting required.
- Non-subjective, instrument-based and quantitative.
- Results in about 7 days depending on species.
- Complete assay kit; includes everything needed to culture and measure hematopoietic cell growth.
- Simple, time efficient and cost effective.
- Incorporates proven Suspension Expansion Culture™ (SEC™) Technology.

(1) = The number of samples tested depends on the number of replicates/sample performed. For example, if 4 replicates/sample are performed, then 24 samples can be analyzed on a single 96-well plate. For 6 replicates, 16 samples. For 8 replicates, 12 replicates. These samples, however, do not have to performed on the same day.
(2) = Suspension Expansion Culture™ (SEC™) Technology takes the place of methylcellulose, allowing easier and faster dispensing.
(3) = Some HALO® assays, including STEMpredict™ and all HALO®-Tox HT assays for hematotoxicity testing are available with 384-well plates upon request.
(4) = Multimode plate readers are also av available that have the capability of luminescence, fluorescence and absorbance.
(5) = HemoGLO™ does not include the reagents to calibrate and standardize the assay. However, these reagents are available separately for this assay.
(6) = The total culture volume will depend on the number of replicates required. For example, if 6 replicates are required, a total volume of 0.8mL should be prepared.
(7) = Culture time depends on the state of fractionation or purification of the source cells, cell population tested and species. In some cases it also depends on the assay itself. For example, STEMpredict™ is a 3-day assay.
(8) = Instrument calibration is performed using the ATP controls included with the assay kit or obtained separately for HemoGLO™.
(9) = Standardization implies performing a standard curve. ATP standards are included in all HALO® assay kits and can be obtained separately for HemoGLO™..
10 = The inclusion of standards and controls allows the results to be compared to measurement assurance parameters (provided) to ensure the assay is working correctly. This allows proficiency testing to be determined directly prior to measuring samples.
11 = Measurement assurance parameters are included in all HALO® assays and when standards and controls are purchased separately for HemoGLO™.
12 = A validated assay allows the user to trust the results obtained. This can only be achieved if standards and controls are included. HALO® and HemoGLO™ have been validated. The validation parameters are included for all HALO® assays and included when the optional standardization kit is purchased for HemoGLO™. Standards and controls allow for in-house validation.
- Incorporates a terazolium WST-1 reagent that is reduced to a soluble yellow formazan, which can be measured at an maximum absorbance of 440nm (420nm to 480nm) in an absorbance plate reader.
- After culture, add 10μl of the WST-1 reagent, mix and read absorbance at 440nm after 1-4 hours in a 96-well plate reader. Plates can be returned to incubator and re-read at a later time for increased sensitivity.
- No solubilization step as in a MTT reaction. Replaces MTT assays.
For Research Use Only.
An absorbance plate reader or multimode plate reader to measure absorbance at 440nm.
- HemoLIGHT™ Master Mix (available with low serum and serum-free formulations)
- WST-1 reagent
- Sterile 96-well clear culture plates
- Sterile adhesive foil covers to keep unused wells sterile
