Advances in cell science have allowed researchers to decipher cellular mechanisms, paving the way to a better understanding of many biological processes. GE Healthcare’s cell technology strategy is aimed at harnessing the vast potential of the cell. Our cell technology portfolio for research and drug discovery and development includes: IN Cell Analyzer cellular imaging systems, Cytiva stem cell-derived models for toxicity testing, Cell Factory custom cell supply services, as well as Ficoll and Percoll preparative density gradient media. For cell therapy research applications, we also offer WAVE disposable bioreactors, as well as Ficoll and Percoll media.
The cell is the functional unit of all living tissues, with each cell having the potential to perform all essential life functions. Understanding the components of cells and how cells work is fundamental to all biological sciences. An appreciation of the similarities and differences between cell types is particularly important in cell biology and molecular biology as well as in biomedical fields such as stem cell research, cancer research, neuroscience, drug discovery, and cell therapy research.
Modern cell analysis technologies use imaging methods at high throughput levels in order to understand cellular behaviors and processes in-depth
Optimizing cell culture and expansion is critical when productivity is a high priority
Cell separation and purification is a critical step in most applied cell science, from basic research to cell therapy
The success of future cell-based therapies requires reliable techniques for cellular purification and characterization at phenotypic and functional levels
To realize the promise of novel cell-based therapies and new cellular research tools, scientists must be able to manipulate stem cells so that they possess the necessary characteristics
