Why use primary cells to test your substance of interest?

In vitro assays using primary cells are:

• quantitative and qualitative
• robust
• flexible and customizable
• clinically relevant, giving more predictive data
• cost effective (reducing the number of animals required)
  

Contract Assay Services can evaluate the effects of your compound on the following cell types and sources:

		Human	Mouse	Canine	Rat
	Bone Marrow	ü*	ü	ü	ü
	Peripheral Blood	ü*	ü
Hematopoietic	Mobilized Peripheral Blood	ü*	ü
	Cord Blood	ü
	Spleen		ü
Mesenchymal	Bone Marrow	ü	ü
	Compact Bone		ü
Neural	Embryonic Cortex		ü		ü
	Adult SVZ		ü

*Clinical samples from diseased or normal patients can also evaluated – inquire for more information.
