Product news

Cell based assays are widely used for high throughput drug screening bringing about the challenge of in-time cell production and scale-up. As a flexible external cell culture unit CCS is dedicated to making screening faster and more efficient. You will reduce the time to success by profiting from our comprehensive experience with different expression strategies and target groups. The outsourcing of time consuming, preparatory work allows you to bring more projects to the starting block at the same time.

CCS offers the custom made generation of recombinant cell lines expressing a target protein of interest and develops reliable and significant assays. In addition CCS produces and provides recombinant proteins, membrane preparations and cells for the instant use in the drug screening process.

The use of frozen cells for cell based screenings has been shown to be a valid alternative to fresh cells from a growing culture. CCS supplies frozen cells either in vials or ready-to-use in assay plates. Uniform batches of cells can be produced that are available in-time to furnish a complete screening campaign.

Within few years CCS has advanced to a major outsourcing partner for cell based drug screening and is supporting companies all over Europe and the USA with cell culture services and cell based products. All services are provided by CCS in a very cooperative and trustworthy partnership involving a team of scientist and technicians with many years of experience in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology and assay development. CCS’ quality management system is certified according to ISO 9001:2000 standard.

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.

Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.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.
