HepaRG Cells are fully-functional, adult-phenotype, human hepatic cells. HepaRG Cells exhibit many characteristics similar to primary human hepatocytes and can be used for many of the same applications. The increased metabolic activity of HepaRG Cells compared to HepG2 enables more predictive value of higher throughput liver toxicity assays conducted in early drug discovery.
The NoSpin HepaRG Cells are HepaRG Cells that are provided in a convenient, terminally differentiated, cryopreserved format that does not require the user to centrifuge, resuspend, or count the cells after thawing. This eliminates multiple steps that introduce qualitative and quantitative variability and benefits high-volume labs by reducing the time and effort needed to perform an assay.
