Partner with the Right Primary Cell Supplier

The success of your primary cell-based research depends on partnering with the right cell supplier. Having a dependable source of quality human primary cells that consistently meet your requirements can reduce experimental uncertainty and increase confidence in your results. STEMCELL’s human primary cell products are ethically sourced using Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) and protocols approved by either an Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and/or an equivalent regulatory authority. You can choose human primary cells based on donor specifications that include sex, age range, BMI range, ethnicity, blood type, smoker status, and more. Ensure you get the cells you need by placing multiple lots on hold for testing, and save time by using our characterization services, including high-resolution HLA typing (Class I and II), CMV status, EBV status, vaccination status, genotyping, phenotyping, and FACS analysis.

Our portfolio* of ready-to-use, fresh or cryopreserved human primary cells from blood, cord blood, and bone marrow includes:

Induced pluripotent stem cells

Leukopaks

LRS cones

Mobilized peripheral blood

Mononuclear cells (MNCs)

Purified immune cells (e.g. NK, T cells, monocytes, B cells, macrophages, pan-T cells, dendritic cells)

Serum-free cultured immune cell subsets (e.g. dendritic cells, macrophages)

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (e.g. CD34+ cells)

Stromal cells (MSCs)

STEMCELL also offers a wide range of disease-state samples and customizations for your needs. Schedule the collection and delivery of fresh cells* at your convenience, or reserve multiple lots of cryopreserved cells while you test them in your assays. If you have a question about ready-to-use fresh or frozen human primary cells from STEMCELL, please contact us.

Your Contract Research Organization Partner

Contract Assay Services (CAS) is a contract research organization (CRO) established within STEMCELL that performs assay services based on in vitro and in vivo primary cell assays. The use of primary cells in our in vitro assays can provide more physiologically relevant results than cell line-based assays. We specialize in the various applications of the in vitro hematopoietic colony-forming unit (CFU) assay, also known as the colony-forming cell (CFC) assay. In addition, we perform standardized and customized immunological and mesenchymal cell-based assays for use at a variety of points in the drug discovery and development pathway. We combine STEMCELL Technologies’ specialized media and reagents with the practical knowledge of our scientists, to provide both standardized and customized assay services that help researchers obtain the high-quality data they require.
