HepatoSure® 100-Donor Pooled Human Hepatocytes

HepatoSure® pooled donor Human hepatocytes is the largest pool that we offer as a standard product, containing hepatocytes from 100 individual donors. HepatoSure® provides the best value when it comes to consistency of data reproducibility and predictive results representative of a large donor population.

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.
