AnaBios Corporation has acquired Cell Systems, a human primary cell and cell culture media company located in Washington. Cell Systems offers various human primary cells, including liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, which were used in a pivotal study of a novel liver-chip model that validated the use of primary cells for this microfluidics application. AnaBios is a pre-clinical contract research organization that provides human tissue samples, cells, and services for the pharmaceutical industry and academic laboratories. The acquisition of Cell Systems will expand AnaBios’ portfolio of human tissue and cells and help scientists expedite drug discovery and enhance their understanding of cell biology.
AnaBios Corporation today announced the acquisition of Cell Systems, a human primary cell and cell culture media company located in Kirkland, Washington. The purchase of Cell Systems will further enhance AnaBios’ unique human tissue and cells portfolio and help scientists expedite drug discovery and further their understanding of cell biology through access to an expansive array of biologically relevant tools.
Cell Systems offers a wide variety of human primary cells including endothelial cells from the brain, liver, kidney, eye and lung that have been instrumental in the ongoing assessment of COVID-19. Their liver sinusoidal endothelial cells were recently used in a pivotal study of a novel liver-chip model that rigorously validated the use of the primary cells for this microfluidics application, according to the industry standards set by the Innovation and Quality industry consortium.
AnaBios, a pre-clinical contract research organization focused on translational studies, leverages its advanced technologies to provide human tissue samples, cells and services for the pharmaceutical industry and academic laboratories globally. Human primary cells and tissues provide clinically relevant data to increase the success rate of drug development.
