Hepatocyte Culture

Hepatocytes are epithelial cells found in the liver. They perform important functions, such as helping to detoxify blood, and to synthesize transport proteins, such as lipoprotein, albumin and transferrin. Primary and secondary cultures of hepatocytes are useful for studying the mechanisms of liver regeneration and differentiation.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
