Cell cultures play a crucial role today in the production of specific raw materials and other applications. The basis for this is carefully selected cell lines that serve as the starting point for cell proliferation. CellTec Systems is a provider and manufacturer of particularly powerful cell lines from mammals and fish, which can be used reliably and long-term in standardized bioprocesses.
For the establishment of readily usable cell lines, besides comprehensive experience, deep knowledge in very different cell biological and chemical areas is required. Therefore, many companies prefer the external acquisition of tested and proven high-performance cell lines over their own establishment. This can significantly accelerate projects and, due to the defined performance profile, also lead to considerably lower costs. Tedious trial and error can thus be avoided.
The development of high-yield cell lines and cell cultures requires a comprehensive process, for which a variety of specialists as well as complex laboratory technology are necessary:
Cell Line Establishment and CellTec Services
Unlike less complex biological or chemical production processes, it is not enough to merely have a cell line: Only if it is fundamentally suitable, adapted to the according process, and carefully “accompanied” during production, the desired results of proliferation or cell culture can be reliably achieved.
As a special advantage, the delivery of cell lines by CellTec always includes the required ancillary services. This ensures that problems can be minimized. The goal is to ensure maximum efficiency and enable low costs and predictable timelines by avoiding culture losses.
Our cells are delivered cryopreserved and generally also include documentation and SOPs for the intended proliferation and processing processes. Therefore, they are less suited for academic-experimental purposes and more for setting up a robust cell-based production workflow. Due to the traceability of each delivered cell line, it is generally possible to reorder identical cell lines.
In this way, repeated processes with identical parameters can take place, thereby eliminating efforts and risks for further adjustments.
Focused on the End Product
In setting up our own cell bank with about 100 immediately available cell lines, we have placed particular emphasis on being able to offer cells from mammals and fish that are suitable for a variety of research and usage scenarios. The use of our cells enables:
- Quick commencement with the establishment and scaling of proliferation procedures and dispensing with one’s own capacities for these steps,
- Significant improvement of one’s own learning curve,
- Keeping investment volumes and development costs low, and
- Making less common breeds of livestock accessible.
Besides access to our cell bank, we can also perform contract biopsies and develop high-performance cell lines from the desired organisms based on this.
Diverse Applications
Depending on differentiation and further processing, the cell lines can be used for a large number of commercial applications. Examples include the production of Cultured Meat in the food or pet food sector, vaccine production, use as test systems for cosmetics, and the extraction of cellular contents. We are proud of the wide range of uses that can be achieved with cells today.
Companies looking to undertake a pilot project in the area of industrial cell cultures or needing robust, high-performance, and quality-assured cell lines for an existing cell production process can optimally position themselves with our expertise in this area. Also, project delays or other issues for innovative ventures can be minimized, especially during capacity constraints. Particularly, the associated consulting and documentation services allow for a delay-free start at the highest level.
In addition to sheer cell biological and chemical work, we can offer support in various ways, for example, in:
- Alignment of the client’s project-related goals with the selected cell lines and media,
- Selection of growth and differentiation media, if not already done,
- Possible adaptation or development,
- Provision of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the various production phases,
- SOPs for monitoring and quality control, and
- Repeated delivery of identical cell lines (Cell Subscription).
