From the Team Who Perfected Cryopreserved Hepatocytes
Discovery’s Gentest scientists continue to refine and develop hepatocyte products and services that optimize ADME and Toxicology Studies.
Discovery has raised the bar for the isolation, cryopreservation, and culturing of hepatocytes for use in the evaluation of drug metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and drug toxicity. Discovery’s Dr. Albert Li has continually refined the proprietary cryopreservation technology and collection processes that now yield the industry’s highest performing hepatocytes, 999Elite™ Human Hepatocytes. Discovery now offers the largest hepatocyte inventory in the industry.
Use Discovery’s High Quality Cryopreserved Hepatocytes To:
