Human Hepatocytes Production

ADME-Tox on scale

Why primary human hepatocytes are considered as the gold standard for hepatic in vitro culture models?

Produced by Preci, licensed by Biopredic International

Primary human hepatocytes are the cellular model used in drug discover programs to uncover the pharmacokinetics of a lead as early as possible. Not only they bring the full DMPK drug profile, however, also show dynamic behaviour of metabolic enzymes.

Robustness
Human hepatic cells may be used for
a wide experiment range as:

Representativity
Primary human hepatocytes are the only faithful liver model, which is validated on is validated on:

Hepatic clearance
Metabolism by CYP and other hepatic enzymes
Compound uptake
Drug-drug Interaction
Drug Induced Liver Damage HBV assays

Transporter expression
CYP activity
Drug response
HBV uptake

Scalability
Organization of efficient and ethical sample procurement guarantees and unique hepatocytes isolation approach guarantees

85%+ of post-thaw viability and high
abundance of the large plateable batches

Donor engagement reaching
200 annually

Cell yield at 20 million
cells/gram of tissue

Quality standard and assurance

Batch acceptance standards for DMPK use:
> 400 vials in a batch
> 85% viability
> HBV, HCV, HIV-free, microbiological and fungal sterility acc. to the standard-of-use

NUNC vials, suitable
for dispatch automation

Automation for vial
filling with <10% variability
