Zenith Biotech Introducing Novel StemQ(R) Hepatic and Neural Models for Use in Drug Discovery, Metabolism and Toxicology Studies, at The 49th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo In Salt Lake City, Utah, March 7-11, 2010, Booth #136
By Zenith Biotech, PRNEMonday, March 1, 2010
GUILFORD, Connecticut, March 2, 2010 - Zenith Biotech is a global life sciences company dedicated to providing
high quality stem cells, media, reagents and stem cell-based model systems
for a wide variety of cell types and applications. The StemQ product line
includes stem cells, media, matrix and reagents tested and qualified for a
wide variety of cell types and applications. Zenith's proprietary media
formulations are designed to support specific lineage stages such as growth
of the stem cells, differentiation into a specific lineage stage and
maintenance of stem cells, progenitors and differentiated cell types.
StemQ(R) products are rigorously tested and qualified for each application in
an FDA registered ISO certified facility. Zenith's revolutionary StemQ(R)
products are designed and qualified to simplify using stem cell technology by
making it more user-friendly. Easy to use stem cell products and cellular
models enable discoveries that are more physiologically relevant.
StemQ(R) Hepatic Model: Together with academic and big Pharma partners
Zenith is developing a novel hepatocyte model for use in drug discovery,
metabolism and toxicology studies. StemQ(R) HepatoGro(TM) media for growth,
StemQ(R) HeapatoMain(TM) maintenance media and StemQ(R) HepatoDiff(TM) for
differentiation available along with StemQ(R) Liver Biomatrix coated plates.
StemQ(R)Hepatic Model will revolutionize how hepatocytes are used in research
and drug development preclinical studies.
StemQ(R) Neural Model: Human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) isolated
from different brain regions are now available from Zenith. Together with
StemQ(R) NeuroGro(TM) media for growth and StemQ(R) NeuroDiff(TM) media for
differentiation, hNPCs are scalable and proven to differentiate into many
neural sub-types. Each hNPC line is fully characterized to determine
differentiation potential. Zenith's StemQ(R) NeuroGro(TM) growth media makes
it possible to scale hNPCs without transforming the cells. StemQ(R)
NeuroDiff(TM) media differentiates the hNPCs into mature functional neurons
ready for use in your applications.
Embryo Culture & ES Cell:
Zenith launches a complete line of mouse embryo media products for
flushing and rinsing embryos, removal of cumulus cells, microinjecitons and
in vitro culturing for the derivation of mouse embryonic stem cell lines. In
collaboration with Dr. John Biggers and Zenith's parent company
IVFonline.com, a world leader in human IVF media, Zenith is making available
to the research market Evolve(R) KSOMaa-a new improved and modified KSOMaa.
In addition Zenith introduces their StemQ(R) complete line of mouse embryonic
stem (ES) cell lines; primary mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder cells
(PMEFs), media and reagents. To complete the product line, Zenith offers high
quality media and reagents that are tested on ES cells and qualified to
support the optimal performance of mouse ES cells for use in the production
of genetically modified mice.
Air and gas quality inside incubators and laboratory - an important
factor in stem cell
Coda(R) technology for Air Purification and Filtration of Contaminants
removes particulates and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from inside
incubators, gas supply lines, and laboratory room air. VOCs can have
significant detrimental effects on stem cells. VOCs are too small to be
trapped by HEPS filters. Coda(R) filters are common-sense safety devices that
serve to protect the stem cells from unforeseen Volatile Organic Contaminants
(VOCs) commonly present inside incubators, gas lines and laboratories such as
Styrene, Benzene, Toluene, Formaldehydes, Ethanol etc and other contaminants.
Coda(R) Technology, proven for safety and performance over 10 years has
become a standard safety device in human IVF labs worldwide. We encourage
stem cells groups to perform comparative studies of stem cell culture with
and without Coda(R) technology. Protect the integrity and function of stem
cells, protect your results, time and resources spend to achieve optimal cell
performance.
Zenith Biotech-a biotech company that covers all three Key Factors of
Success in stem cell :
Qualified & Tested Cells + Quality & Optimized formulated Media + Quality
Air with extensive in-house expertise and high quality ISO certified
manufacturing.
