Hepatic cells
Our extensive selection of premier hepatocytes and culture products is backed by decades of experience. Human and animal hepatocyte cells are isolated in-house by our specially trained scientists, helping to ensure the highest quality standards translate into your ability to draw in-vitro/in-vivo correlations. Each of our lots is tested for monolayer formation, attachment efficiency, proper morphology, viability, and phase I and II enzyme activities. Our human hepatocytes are pre-qualified for a variety of applications including metabolism, induction, and transporter studies.
We can help you seamlessly transition through your workflow with a complete cell culture system of Gibco 2D and 3D hepatocytes, media, and supplements. From suspension to adherent cultures, we offer thawing and recovery medium to improve hepatic cell viability, extracellular matrixes for a more in situ environment offering more physiological relevant results, and various media and supplements to help maintain the health of your hepatic cells.

Assays instrumentation
From determining hepatocyte cell viability, conducting new compound affinity testing, to analyzing ADME-related gene expression, we offer assays, reagents, and instrumentation to support all ADME applications.
Assays
Nuclear receptors– Nuclear receptors are a superfamily of transcription factors that can mediate transcription regulation in ADME-relevant genes. To facilitate your drug discovery efforts through the study of nuclear receptors, we have developed highly sensitive Invitrogen LanthaScreen Nuclear Receptor Competitive Binding Assays, suitable for high-throughput screening.
TaqMan® Assays– Applied Biosystems TaqMan® Marker and Reporter assays are optimized for detection and quantitation of DNA or RNA sequences encoding common marker and reporter proteins and can be useful for determining successful transfection of your fluorescent fusion protein. TaqMan® Drug Metabolism Genotyping Assays are designed to detect polymorphisms in high-value drug metabolizing enzyme pharmacogenetics markers, including PharmaADME core markers. Our assays, pre-plated into Fast or standard 96- or 384-well plates, detect polymorphisms in 221 genes that code for various drug metabolism enzymes and drug transporters.
Instruments
EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System– Our EVOS microscopes are designed for biologists, easy-to-use, versatile microscopes that reinvent your hepatic cell imaging routines to produce publication quality images and data in no time. Our EVOS systems offer top-of-the-line imaging components including high-quality cameras and optics, LED illumination, and easy-to-use image capture and processing software.
