BioChemed now offers human hepatocytes, available both as fresh and cryopreserved. Please contact us if you need rat hepatocytes or hepatocytes from other species.

We can provide an assortment of human hepatic-derived cells. These include Hepatocytes, Total liver cell population (TLC), Stellates, Progenitors, and Intra-hepatic biliary epithelial cells. For convenience, we offer these as cryopreserved cells. Cryopreserved cells are suitable for a variety of assays, including induction, toxicity, drug metabolism, and systems biology. Both adherent and suspension cells are available.

Cells have been tested for viability, ECOD, 7-HCG, and 7-HCS assays. Cells have tested negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HbsAG, HbcAB, HCV, and RPR. Cells are tested for CMV; some CMV-positive lots are released for experiments.

Specially formulated media is available for the plating and maintenance of our cells.
