Project Life Cell AI

A pilot project Life Cell AI on quality control of stem cells and cell lines were developed and implemented in partnership with the Ukrainian Association of Biobanks (UAB), Institute of Bio-Stem Cell Rehabilitation, International Biobanking, and the Department of Medical Genetics, Yerevan State Medical University.

The program was conducted according to international standards of “schemes” of interlaboratory comparisons with the simultaneous participation of biorepository laboratories in different countries.

Our biosamples quality control program works as an external quality assessment tool that allows you to verify and compare the performance of biosample processing or testing methods through the following steps:

Step 1. Standardized Samples. After registration in the pilot program, Biobank receives standardized samples sent to the laboratory.

Step 2. Routine Methods. The Biobank uses a standard processing method to retrieve samples or a routine method to characterize samples.

We used the standard STEMCELL quality control kit for the quality control of stem cells. STEMCELL quality control kits are available with human bone marrow (STEMCELL QC-BM) or umbilical cord blood (STEMCELL QC-CB) cells to evaluate the cell type most appropriate for a particular laboratory application.

Step 3 Extracted Samples and Results. You send us your test results fluorescent in situ hybridization, comparative genomic hybridization, Giemsa (GTG) karyotyping, or whole genome sequencing of stem cells.

Step – 4. Statistical analysis and benchmarking. We analyze the received samples, collect the results from all participants and perform statistical and comparative analysis.

Step – 5. Using artificial intelligence to analyze and characterize cell lines based on the processes of visible spectrum (RGB) image data.
