Cell Banking Services

Whether you need your adherent, suspension or biphasic cell lines cryopreserved, we’ve got you covered, and we’ll optimize the conditions to ensure that the viability and recovery of the cells are suitable for starting a culture that will thrive. Once frozen, we can either ship your cells to you immediately or store them in our facility for as long as you need.

We offer our bioassay cell banking services for early-stage R&D—from pre-IND through phase 2 studies—so you can accelerate your research and quickly progress to GMP-grade stages of the process.

Cryopreservation of Parental Cell Lines

Reliably relaunch a new culture from the original source to take your project in a new direction or test the effects of new conditions

Working Cell Banking

Short-term storage: store 10-25 vials of cells, which are produced, tested for viability, and stored in liquid nitrogen and monitored for 2 years.

Master Cell Banking

Longer term storage: store 10-200 vials of cells, which are produced, tested for viability, and stored in liquid nitrogen and monitored for 2 years.

Cell Pellets & Lysates

After cell expansion, we collect the cells, pellet them and freeze them. We can immediately send you the frozen cell pellets, or store them at our facility and we will lyse them for you as needed.
