Finding a suitable human iPSC (hiPSCs) line is the first step of many disease modeling and cell therapy projects. Once a suitable donor has been found and hiPSCs have been generated, certain quality control (QC) measures of the cell culture to verify its identity and quality are crucial. If portions of the QC are missing or deviate from the standard, the results acquired with these cells may be unusable or may produce misleading conclusions.
