Question 2 of 5
Contact a karyotype facilityCheck your cells under the microscopeCross your fingersRun a qPCR analysis kit using the hPSC Genetic Analysis Kit
Correct! Thanks to our online Genetic Analysis Application, you can confirm that your cells are free from the 8 most common karyotypic abnormalities! You perform the qPCR and while it runs you return to your other tasks.
Hmm...are you sure? Try again.

Question 3 of 5
Cryostor™ CS10FBS + 10% DMSOYour regular culture mediumYour regular culture medium + 10% DMSO
Good choice! Aggregates frozen in Cryostor™ CS10 have high post-thaw viability; learn more with our cryopreservation Tech Tip.

Hang on, you just received manuscript reviews that require iPSC-microglia differentiation. You want to submit the revisions as fast as possible but a differentiation from iPSCs to microglia overlaps with your upcoming vacation…
Hmm...are you sure? Try again.

Question 4 of 5
You have already called your friends to cancel your holiday plansYou will use STEMdiff™ Hematopoietic Kit, pause your experiment by freezing down progenitors at day 12 then go on holiday. When you return, you will thaw your cells and continue differentiation using STEMdiff™ Microglia Differentiation KitYou will ask the journal for a delay in submitting the revision due to your holidayYou will start the differentiation and hope the cells will survive unattended for a week or so
It seems you are getting closer to some well-deserved rest!
Hmm...are you sure? Try again.

Question 5 of 5
Call your STEMCELL sales representative to find out the dates of the next PSC training and book a seat for your colleagueAssume he already knows how to culture iPSCsStop working for 3 days to show him all the techniques you know
Hmm...are you sure? Try again.
Congratulations! Your cells are ready for a relaxing weekend, and so are you!
