Case Studies
Assessing Cell Viability of Fresh and Frozen Human Jurkat Cells
Client Requirements: 3D culture generation of 1×10^9 Human Jurkat T Cells isolated fresh and assessed for viability. Cells were grown in culture, isolated and evaluated utilizing a novel equipment system. A viability testing was conducted to validate throughput of the device. Cells were stored at Vapor Phase Liquid Nitrogen for further assessment.
Flow Cytometry Assessment of Canine Adipose-Derived Stem Cells
Client Requirements: Utilizing Flow Cytometry to assess cell markers consistent with canine mesenchymal cells from fresh and frozen cell preparations. Gene Expression analysis of tissue healing factors pre and post activation of cells.
In Silico Design and Assessment of a Novel Immune Stimulant
Client Requirements: Generation of a novel species-specific adjuvant in silico. Assessed research material for intracellular TLR9 activation in vitro in comparison to standard off the shelf alternatives. Further evaluate IL-12 secretion to determine level of effectiveness.
Equine Protein Assay Development
Client Requirements: Comparison of human IL-6 yields in contrast to a novel process of equine protein recovery. Utilizing Human IL-6 ELISA to evaluate feasibility of Equine Protein recovery in a novel device.
