• Cell strength or potency is the quantitative measurement of cell proliferation potential. This, in turn, is a measure of cell primitiveness and cell engraftment potential.
• Cell strength predicts a specific response associated with the intended effect. This is usually the capacity of cells to home, seed and begin proliferation at a particular location in the body. Cell potency does not predict whether the cells will actually differentiate and produce functional mature cells.

• To determine identity, purity and strength (potency) of native or expanded Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) from any source and multiple species.

• An ATP bioluminescence, reference standard-based potency assay for MSCs manufactured and produced for clinical use.
• Determines population doubling time (PDL), viability, proliferation ability (quality) and proliferation potential (potency) in a single assay.
• MSCGlo™ SC-IPS has been validated according to FDA Bioanalytical Method Validation Guidelines. However, additional validation can be performed since assay kits include standards and controls which, together with the reference standard, allows the assay to be validated in-house. Please see the Instruction Manual for validation parameters.
• Customize the assay with serum-free/xeno-free or humanized MSCGro™ Medium. 
• Compliant with FDA regulations for potency assays.
• Uses the "Slope-Ratio Concentration-Response Model" to determine the measure of potency, the potency ratio, standardized in the U.S. Pharmocopeia.

All ATP bioluminescence assays kits from Preferred Cell Systems™ include an ATP standard(s) and controls.  Performing the ATP standard curve and controls is highly recommended. The controls are used to calibrate the luminescence plate reader and the ATP standard is used to standardize the assay. The values obtained from the standard curve and controls (see diagram below) are then compared to the measurement assurance parameters that are provided in the instruction manual. If the values obtained are within the ranges provided by the measurement assurance parameters, you, the user, have successfully performed the proficiency testing to ensure that you have not only performed the assay correctly, but that the results you obtain can be trusted.

No additional proficiency testing is required if the calibration and standardization procedure is performed. The values you obtain from each calibration and standardization can be logged and used for certification that the assay has been performed correctly and that the results are trustworthy.
