Primary cells offer a more biologically relevant model than immortalized cell lines because they retain key functional features seen in vivo and avoid the mutations and genetic changes common in cell lines. With the rise of three-dimensional cultures, primary cells are becoming the gold standard for predictive assays.

Success in drug discovery depends on data that truly reflects human biology. That’s why we go beyond traditional cell lines to provide ethically sourced human and animal primary cells and tissues that enable you to make confident, clinically relevant decisions earlier in your program.
