Cytiva™ CD34+ HSC LNP kits

Discover and Scale Up Your Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy Using Lipid Nanoparticles


T-Cell Kit, Spark, Cartridge, Well Plate

Optimized on the NanoAssemblr Spark or Ignite 

Cytiva™ CD34+ HSC LNP kit is an off-the-shelf lipid nanoparticle (LNP) reagent mix optimized for the delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) or Cas9 mRNA/sgRNA into CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells.

The kits are available for the NanoAssemblr® Spark™ instrument for discovery and for the NanoAssemblr Ignite™ instrument for discovery and pre-clinical development with NxGen™ cartridges. These reagents enable delivery that can be seamlessly integrated into any standard CD34+ HSC workflow using an established protocol with cells obtained from either human cord blood or mobilized peripheral blood. 


The CD34+ HSC LNP kit enables researchers to establish a clinically relevant and scalable method from discovery to preclinical development for ex vivo gene delivery and editing while maintaining high cell viability, yield and differentiation potential to accelerate the development of HSC-based therapies.

Consistent LNP Size and RNA Encapsulation Efficiency

 

Lipid nanoparticles formulated on the NanoAssemblr Spark (Discovery) and Ignite (Preclinical) instruments yield consistent size, polydispersity index (PDI), and encapsulation efficiency.

Cell Proliferation and Viability Following LNP Treatment

 

LNP-treated HSCs show higher cell proliferation and similar viability compared to untreated cells.

HSC Cryopreservation and Freeze-Thawing Post LNP Treatment

Cryopreservation of LNP-treated HSCs showed high cell viability and yield. Furthermore, cells retained their HSC phenotype distribution while maintaining CD45 knockout efficiency.

Easily Integrated into Standard CD34+ HSC Cell Culture Protocols

The CD34+ HSC LNP kits can be easily integrated into a CD34+ HSC workflow for both mRNA-based gene expression and CRISPR/Cas gene editing applications. A general workflow is outlined below.
