Product news

Lonza announces the launch of Cells on Demand™ Cell Culture and Transfection Services, a new offering providing researchers assay ready cells for cell based screening, including primary cells, cell lines, stable clones, transiently transfected cells and media.

“Cells on Demand™ has been designed to deliver customers high quality cells, on-time and to specification. Customers can focus on their research, rather than spending time troubleshooting cell production issues and inefficient transfection protocols,” said said Dr. Marin Parenty, Head of Lonza Cell Discovery. “Also, this program provides researchers with access to Lonza’s decades of experience in cell culture of both primary cells and cell lines as well as industry leading expertise in non-viral transfection.”

Lonza’s Cells on Demand™ services include:
• Bulk cell production - large scale manufacturing of cell lines, transfected cells, and primary cells including Clonetics® primary cells and Poietics® stem cells
• Transfection services – expertise with Amaxa® Nucleofector® Technology in generating stable clones and transiently transfected cells, Nucleofection® Protocol Optimization, and small scale protein production
• Cell isolation services - laboratory is ISO 9001 certified with expertise in 50+ cell types from a variety of species
• Media production - classical or specialty, including serum free & chemically defined
Lonza is a leader in cell culture and transfection technology and has a broad range of trusted products used in industry and academia.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
