Thousands of tools and reagents for reproducible cell culture
Cell culture is fundamental to life science research in universities, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and industry. Cells isolated from animal and human tissues in both 2D and 3D environments are used by researchers to study cell biology, treat diseases, and produce antibodies, proteins, and vaccines.
We have everything you need to keep your tissue culture room thriving so you can accomplish your goals, establish relevant cell models, and answer your research questions. Our complete portfolio of cell lines, cultureware, media, supplements, and assay kits offer a variety of choices for every application.
Prepare Your Projects
Preparing for your cell culture application requires the right culture tools and equipment to help you obtain reliable and reproducible data. When preparing for your project, deciding which cell line is ideal for their application or research question and which cultureware is important.
We offer a carefully curated, diverse selection of mammalian, stem, primary, and cancer cell lines, patient-derived organoids, and organoid culture systems and specialty cultureware, including membrane-based inserts and plates so you can best prepare for your cell culture workflow.
Grow and Thrive
A necessary and important step in the cell culture workflow, growing, monitoring, and testing cells often requires supplementing tissue culture media and buffers. While growing their cells, researchers focus on helping cells thrive in their environment.
We offer cell culture-tested media, sera, and reagents that undergo validation in relevant culture systems including 3D environments. Our products help researchers provide the appropriate environment for healthy propagation of any cell phenotype or application. Choose the ideal culture supplement to create a unique and reliable environment for your cultures.
Analyze Accurately
Cell analysis and cell-based assays allow researchers to understand and quantify cell health and function. To analyze their cell cultures, researchers need state-of-the-art assays and reagents, regardless of their application or project objectives.
From mycoplasma detection to live cell imaging dyes and reagents, our wide range of cellular tools will help you analyze cellular processes and monitor cell health. Discover the ideal cellular assay and tool for your application.
Troubleshoot Your Cultures
Cell culture is an essential technique for modeling biological systems in life science research and pharmaceutical labs. Though this technique is highly accessible, successful propagation of cells for stock expansion or modeling experiments can be plagued by conditions that negatively impact cell growth and viability.
We provide technical expertise to help researchers throughout the cell culture workflow. Learn how to identify and troubleshoot common cell culture problems, ensuring meaningful, reliable, and reproducible downstream data from in vitro models.
