Cell Culture Media
CELLnTEC's precision media for primary epithelial cell culture are specifically designed to mimic the precise micro-environments cells experience in vivo.
We offer both Progenitor Cell Targeted (PCT) media for optimal isolation and retention of proliferating cells, and non-PCT media for differentiation in 2D or 3D culture.
Primary and Long-Term Cells
Primary and Long-Term Cells are available from various tissues and species. Isolated in Progenitor Cell Targeted (PCT) media, these cells deliver optimal morphology and marker expression, plus extended longevity.
Read what customers say about us:
"I have had a great experience with CELLnTEC. Products, customer service, tech support, the whole thing. We're using their keratinocyte medium for 3D epidermal cell culture and their primary cells, and we receive reproducible and consistent results. Also, the possibility to use our own lentivirally transducted keratinocytes with this system was a big advantage."

"Studying skin biology can be challenging because working with keratinocytes in culture is difficult - or at least it was. Since we’ve switched to CellnTec medium, establishing and culturing primary keratinocytes has been a breeze, as this "magic medium" provides an optimal environment for increased longevity and well-defined morphology, ultimately allowing for reproducible and reliable results."

Contract Research
CELLnTEC provides both standard and customized in vitro testing services for the cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, biotech and pharma industries.
We specialize in the development of new models and testing approaches, and the use of novel 2D and 3D models to obtain unique insights into challenging questions.
For the cosmetic industry, we have recently focused on innovative new models in the fields of stem cells and aging, to complement our broad range of standard tests.
No matter if your question is efficacy of a cosmetic active, toxicological properties of a therapeutic compound, or screening using novel stem cell or cancer stem cell models, let us propose an innovative approach for you.
