Human primary cells are isolated from bone marrowcord bloodperipheral blood (healthy and diseased)and mobilized peripheral blood. Unprocessed or apheresis products are collected from IRB consented donors at one of our strategically located  Stem Cell Collection Centers or at one of our partnering hospitals, and processed at our on-site laboratory to a specific primary cell type. We streamline the entire workflow, from donor recruitment all the way to shipping the final product, guaranteeing every sample arrives with the highest purity, viability, and quality researchers need to ensure confidence in their results.

  • Large and assorted selection of human primary cells available to cover all aspects of your research
  • Robust and diverse donor pool for effortless selection of the right specimen for your research
  • Recallable and repeat donors for critical longitudinal studies
  • Customizable products that allow flexibility and simplicity in decision making
  • Same day delivery in select cities for quick access to the products you need
  • Streamlined process from collection through delivery to guarantee operational excellence and consistent quality products
  • Collection centers and laboratories that follow GMP guidelines to ensure high-quality products
  • Employ compliant data management software (ERP & QMS) that ensures traceability and accountability
  • World-class customer service before, during, and after your purchase

How to thaw CGT human primary cells for optimal viability?

Primary cells are very sensitive to many aspects of the thawing procedure, such as heat, DMSO, agitation, and high centripetal forces. Obtaining high viability after thawing human primary cells can be difficult if not performed quickly and with good laboratory techniques. At CGT, our laboratory technicians have years of experience handling and thawing frozen human primary cells and have designed a procedure that will help you obtain the highest viability of your cells.

Does CGT offer custom or specialty services?

Yes. CGT Global is happy to work with researchers to meet the specific needs of their work.

What if I don't see the primary cell type I am looking for?

Our scientists are well versed in the isolation of human primary cells. They will look into the feasibility of the cell isolation and propose the most cost-effective procedure that yields the highest-quality product. Contact us and let us know what you are looking for.
