ReproCardio: Fresh Beating Clusters

Fresh beating human heart cell clusters which can accurately replicate in vivo results

  • Fresh beating cell clumps ready for use shortly after delivery*
  • For efficient in-vitro cardiotoxicity assays and drug discovery
  • Functionally charecterized using various reference compounds
  • Expresses cardiac ion channels and cardiomyocyte-specific markers
  • The assay medium for extracellular recordings and live imaging is available separately

ReproCardio kit

* Cells are beating when shipped and recover to commence beating again when incubated at 37 degC after delivery. If frozen cells are more preferable to you, please check our new product ReproCardio 2. Otherwise, if you are interested in our assay service using ReproCardio please refer to QTempo web page.
