Advanced Physiological Co-culture models
The skin is an ecosystem. Isolated cell testing (monocultures) often fails to capture how active ingredients truly perform because cells rely on constant chemical communication (paracrine signaling) with their neighbors. To ensure complete physiological relevance, we utilize specialized co-culture models to mimic the true cellular environment of human skin. 1. Melanocyte & Keratinocyte Co-Culture (The…

Biofunctional assays
1. Wound Healing (Cell Migration) Assay Primary Cosmetic Claims: Skin repair, barrier restoration, anti-aging, and scar reduction. This assay evaluates the regenerative properties of cosmetic actives. We utilize the industry-standard in vitro “scratch assay,” where an artificial gap is created in a confluent monolayer of skin cells (typically epidermal keratinocytes or dermal fibroblasts). We then…

Types of Cell culture media
Different Types of Animal Cell Culture Media – A Complete Guide Animal cell culture success depends heavily on choosing the right culture medium. Media provide essential nutrients, buffering capacity, hormones, growth factors, and energy sources required for cells to survive and proliferate outside the body. With many formulations available today, selecting the correct medium can…

What’s New in Animal Cell Culture?
1. Enzyme-Free, Automated Cell Detachment — A Biomanufacturing Breakthrough Traditional enzymatic detachment methods such as trypsinization can damage proteins on the cell surface and affect viability.A new 2025 development introduces a non-enzymatic, electrically-controlled detachment system, allowing the release of anchored cells using low-frequency alternating current on specially engineered surfaces. Why this matters 2. Deeper Control…
