XCellR8. Accelerating your research.
XCellR8 works with industrial and academic scientists, providing technical support services in cell culture technology. XCellR8 offers contract research services for biotechnology, pharmaceutical and personal care companies (in vitro testing and toxicology screening), cell culture training for laboratory researchers (commercial and public sector), and technical support services for cell culture scientists.
Formed in 2008 following the founders’ successful commercial careers in cell culture in both industrial and academic settings, XCellR8 is based in UMIC’s Core Technology Facility building.
XCellR8 was established to address an unmet need for fast, informed and effective technical support in cell culture science. We enhance the smooth running of cell culture laboratories by providing independent, impartial support and troubleshooting advice across a range of technologies.
Our customers benefit from a comprehensive technical support package spanning all of their applications and preventing costly project delays. Our specialist expertise in cell culture, including a range of human primary cell systems and tissue models, enables us to provide you with bespoke specialist contract research services and technical support best suited to your needs. And our testing strategies help our customers comply with new legislation including the 7th Amendment of the European Cosmetics Directive and REACH.
Services
* In vitro toxicology screening and contract research
Specialising in cell culture contract research, XCellR8 is committed to R&D excellence. We’ll provide rapid, high-quality validated results for integration into your R&D processes, whether your business is drug discovery or cosmetic formulation.
With validated and approved screening methods, we can support projects of any size – from proof of concept, toxicology screening and pre-clinical studies. We’ll support your R&D with our wide range of in vitro tools including 3D human models of skin, cornea, blood vessels & other tissue types.
* Cell culture techniques and laboratory training
You’ll want to establish good practice and cost efficiencies across your laboratory operations, whatever the level of operation.
Our short courses for cell scientists and laboratory researchers span a range of needs – from basic cell culture techniques to highly advanced and complex systems training including bioreactor productivity and 3D tissue models. And we can run courses at our own labs in Manchester or on your premises – whatever works best for you.
* Independent technical support for cell culture R&D
We provide unrivalled and comprehensive cell culture technical support – independent, impartial, and based on our extensive knowledge of all cell culture products. Our technical support saves you time, money and avoids project delays. We’ve also helped customers to set up cell culture labs ‘from scratch’, helping with equipment selection, lab design and staff training.
We’ve worked with most commercial cell products during our career and, although we don’t pretend to have all the answers, our experience runs broad and deep. If you want rapid, professional and independent advice, contact us to find out more about our technical support packages, including ‘kick start’ technical support providing you with a fast and reliable way to get your new primary cell culture processes up and running.
* Cell culture product sales
We’ll supply your R&D needs with a carefully selected range of high-quality culture products including primary human cells, human skin models, growth factors, reagents and serum-free media.
From tissue models to a range of cell types including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, melanocytes, endothelial and smooth muscle cells – we can supply the right products for your needs. For more information on our products please visit www.x-cellr8.com/Products.aspx
