Welcome to iXCells Biotechnologies - Primary and iPSC-Derived Cells Distributed in the UK & Ireland by Caltag Medsystems

iXCells Biotechnologies

iXCells Biotechnologies (San Diego, CA) offers high-quality primary and iPSC-derived cells, animal primary cells, media, reagents, and custom iPSC services to support drug discovery research.

The company is dedicated to providing innovative pre-clinical drug discovery solutions with the focus on disease relevant cellular models.

iXCells Biotechnologies was the first company to develop and commercialise functionally characterised iPSC-derived motor neurons. With a network of collaborators and partners across biotech and pharma they continue to make discoveries and expand product offerings to maintain their position as a leader in the marketplace.

iPSC & iPSC-derived Cells

iXCells provides a range of iPSC cell lines and iPSC-derived cells:

iPSC cell lines: derived from normal patients as well as patients with a selection of neurological diseases or Type 2 diabetes.
Human neural stem cells (NSCs): derived from normal or diseased iPS cell lines.
Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts: valuable for biochemical analysis and disease modelling.
Neurons: a variety of neurons are available from normal patients as well as diseased state patients.
Astrocytes: fully differentiated and functional human that display typical astrocytic morphology, available from normal or diseased patients.

Human Primary Cells

iXCells offers a broad collection of human primary cells and the ability to perform custom isolations upon demand, which are obtained through programs complying with The Declaration of Helsinki:

Immune cells
- Cryopreserved and available from a large donor population, enabling selection of optimal phenotypes for research including age, gender, ethnicity, race, blood type and more.
Hepatic Cells & Hepatocytes
- For use when focusing on drug metabolism studies, liver disease research, or toxicology assessments.
- Isolated from whole liver of human organ donors and cryopreserved on the day of isolation.
Renal cells
- Offer accurate and reliable insights to enable researchers to study kidney function, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic interventions.
- Isolated from adult human kidney tissue
Vascular cells
- Includes cells from cardiac, cardiac microvascular, umbilical vein, dermal, and other vascular origins that have been rigorously quality control tested.
Dermal cells
- Available from normal donors including neonatal foreskin and adult skin, or from adult skin of Type 1 Diabetes patients.
Adipose cells
- Isolated from human lipoaspirate tissue collected during elective surgical liposuction procedures.
- Available for normal donors and patients with Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, or Obesity (BMI>30).
And more!
