Lonza CellBio Services custom cell biology services

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.
