Abstract

The invention provides a method of determining the content of progenitor cells in a hematopoietic cell culture. The method comprises measuring one or more metabolic parameters of the culture, such as oxygen consumption, glucose consumption and/or lactate production, and using the measured parameter(s) to determine the content of progenitor cells.
