Contract Cell Culture

Cell culture is a specialised laboratory method that enables the growth of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells in physiological conditions. At Cellomatics, our contract cell culture services include primary cultures of human origin as well as established cell lines. Find out more below.

Mammalian Cell Culture

Our cell culture services include primary cultures of human origin as well as established cell lines. This facilitates the production of natural or recombinant proteins, or for use in biological assays such as wound healing bioassays, immunomodulation, cell migrations, proliferation/viability, or investigating the inflammatory mediator response. Our labs are equipped with Class ll biological safety cabinets, fridges, freezers and CO2 incubators.

All routine cells are cultured without the use of antibiotics, using a variety of media with additives and serum-free media as appropriate. All cells are tested for the presence of Mycoplasma contamination.

Cell Lines, Primary Cultures

Cell lines maintain their phenotype and their ability to proliferate indefinitely in laboratory cultures. Primary cell isolates are derived from fresh tissue explants and maintain their phenotypic characteristics and their growth capabilities for a limited period of time in cultures. Both cell lines and primary cultures can be stored frozen in liquid nitrogen and then cultured back in appropriate culture medium. These processes facilitate biological studies that are convenient, reproducible, and cost effective. Cell lines are used for assay development/validation. Cell lines therefore allow studies that may be difficult with whole organs or in vivo, such as mechanism of action, radioactive experiments, or cell transfection. Cell lines with desired properties are obtained from repositories such as the American Type Culture Collection.

We have extensive experience in culturing various primary human cells.
We have extensive experience in various human cell lines for stable and transient expression of target proteins
Our expertise includes protein expression in HEK293 and CHO cell lines

FAQ's

What types of cells can be maintained and expanded?

Cellomatics supports the culture and expansion of a wide range of cell types, including immortalised cell lines and primary human cells, under controlled and validated conditions.

Can rare or sensitive cell types be handled?

Yes. Specialised protocols are used for handling sensitive cells, including primary and stem cells, ensuring optimal growth, viability, and phenotypic stability. At Cellomatics, this is supported by expert cell culture teams and optimised conditions tailored to each cell type to maintain functional integrity.

What are the benefits of outsourcing cell culture?

Outsourcing provides access to specialised expertise and infrastructure while reducing internal workload. This allows clients working with Cellomatics to leverage advanced facilities, experienced scientists, and scalable workflows, enabling a stronger focus on core research while maintaining consistent, high-quality cell culture support.

Is cell line characterisation available?

Yes. Routine quality control includes morphology assessment, growth kinetics analysis, and mycoplasma testing to ensure culture integrity. These services are carried out at Cellomatics using validated protocols and stringent QC processes to maintain consistency and reliability across studies.

Is bespoke media formulation offered?

Yes. Cellomatics can work with proprietary media formulations or develop customised conditions to optimise cell performance for specific assay requirements.
