Gentest®
Cryopreserved Primary Hepatocytes

A physiologically relevant human in vitro experimental system.

The Pioneers of Hepatocyte Isolation, Cryopreservation, and Culturing​

Cryopreserved hepatocytes are the ideal tool for studying drug metabolism, toxicity, gene therapy, and liver diseases. Discovery’s Dr. Albert Li and his team haves continually refined the proprietary cryopreservation technology and collection processes that now yield the industry’s largest inventory of highest  high-performing hepatocytes.

“For the past four decades, our research has helped optimize the isolation and cryopreservation of human and animal hepatocytes and established mechanism-based experimental approaches to aid the assessment of human-specific drug efficacy and DILI potential. I am extremely proud of my team and our proprietary technology which has been successfully applied by the pharmaceutical industry, including gene therapy companies.”
