Primary Cells

Primary cells and matched culture media for physiologically relevant research

Primary cells give you a starting point that closely reflects native tissue biology, keeping the signalling networks, receptor expression, and metabolic activity you rely on for your readouts. Unlike continuous cell lines, primary cells carry the gene expression profile of the donor tissue rather than the adaptations that come with immortalisation. Sources span a broad range of tissues and species, including human and rodent renal cortex, tracheal fibroblasts, adipose-derived stem cells, and haematopoietic, neural, cardiovascular, dermal, and endocrine lineages. Cell-type-specific culture media are matched to each cell type, with formulations for neuronal, adipocyte, osteoblast, oligodendrocyte, and trophoblast cells, sold as standalone media bottles for your workflow.
