Lonza has introduced CellBio Services — a comprehensive portfolio of custom solutions designed to meet specific, individual research application needs. Researchers across pharmaceutical and contract manufacturing organisations can choose from an extensive range of services, including cell-line expansion and banking, media production, cell isolation, cell characterisation, transfection services and 3D cell-culture services.
Offerings include: manipulation of Lonza’s catalogue media products or production of new media, either in liquid or powder format; cell isolation from a variety of tissues, including human, primate, porcine, canine, feline and murine; the development of cell-based assays for functional testing of recombinant proteins and small molecules; and fast and convenient creation of recombinant cell lines overexpressing the gene of interest.
Cell lines can be expanded up to 10e10 and the cells can be cryopreserved in the preferred format. The company’s RAFT System is used to generate custom 3D cell culture systems, such as co-cultures and barrier models.
