Primary cells are cells isolated directly from living tissue or organs. They are differentiated cells that closely mimic the physiological state of cells in vivo and are expected to maintain their functions under optimal conditions for a limited time. Primary cells can undergo only a limited number of divisions before entering senescence, which represents a key limitation. Except for stem and progenitor cell populations, most primary cells are terminally differentiated, highly specialized, and maintain high levels of function.
Advantages of Primary Cell Models
Primary cell models are well-established, relatively easy, and cost-effective to use, offering several advantages over tissue sections. The main benefit is that primary cells retain functions and phenotypes close to those of tissues or organs in vivo, allowing the effects of drugs or toxins to be studied at the cellular level in isolated primary cells.
Our Range of Primary Cells
We offer a broad portfolio of primary cells. If you do not find the cells you need in our catalog, we can provide them through our custom service. By defining your specific selection criteria, we can supply the cells tailored to your research requirements. Contact our technical support for more information.
