Primary cells refer to cells that are isolated or harvested directly from living tissue or organs. With the exception of stem cells and progenitor cells, the majority of primary cells are terminally differentiated cells with a highly specific type and high level of function. These cells provide a more realistic model of human health and disease because their physiology more closely resembles the tissue from which they were extracted. However, isolating primary cells is a notoriously time-consuming and resource-intensive process, so let us do this bit for you.
The team of cell culture experts at Creative Bioarray provides you with a large and unique collection of high-purity, low-passage human and animal primary cells. Our primary cells cover a wide range of cell types (epithelial cells, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and many other key types) from a large variety of tissues (skin, liver, bone, brain, and more) in both cryopreserved and proliferating format. Additional isolates (which may be paired, age, gender, haplotype, and/or ethnic-specific) of certain cell types may be available, please contact customer service.
We also manufacture a large selection of cell culture media. Each medium is balanced and supplemented expressly for a particular cell type to maximize the life expectancy of individual cell type.
To help you choose your primary cells of interest together with the appropriate media and cell supplements, please get in touch with our cell culture experts.
