Primary Cells
Primary cell cultures, derived directly from organ tissue, closely mimic the physiological conditions of in vivo cells, offering biologically relevant data. These cultures serve as a superior model for preclinical and investigative research, capturing intercellular and intracellular communication intricacies. Unlike immortalised cell lines, which are prone to mutations and chromosomal abnormalities, primary cells provide a more accurate representation of tissue cell types.

Concept Life Sciences is at the forefront of scientific and technical expertise, particularly in working with primary human and rodent cells, with a specialized focus on immune and central nervous system cells.
- Comprehensive Protocols: Benefit from our developed and robust protocols, covering isolation, culture, differentiation, and activation of primary human and rodent cells.
- Versatile Applications: Our models excel in both simple monoculture and complex co-culture assay systems, effectively recapitulating key pathophysiological mechanisms. These models find diverse applications across various disease indications, including immunology, immuno-oncology, auto-immunity, inflammation, and neuroinflammation.
- Advanced Models: Cultivated with suitable primary cell culture media and supplements, our models represent advanced and accurate reflections of normal cell phenotypes and early disease progression.
