Our 100-Donor Pool
The advantages of selecting such a large pool representative of donor diversity include compensation for inter-individual variability and reduction in lot-to-lot variability. We offer the most extensive characterization on the market, including transporter activities and intrinsic clearance values. Each lot of hepatocytes going into the pool is vetted by our specialists for high enzyme activity levels and the ability to maintain excellent viability for up to 4-6 hours. Pools of other sizes and characterization options can be custom-fit to meet your needs– see our CryostaX®pooled suspension hepatocytes page for more details. Read more about HepatoSure.
