Meet us at DECHEMA 3D Cell Culture in Freiburg

The 7th conference on 3D Cell Culture 2023 in Freiburg will focus on advanced and predictive 3D cell culture models. Main topics are biology and applications of organoids, organ-on-a-chip models, and the biology in microphysiological systems. Other topics are developments in the field of Personalised Medicine, the path from 3D cell cultures to cell-based therapies, […]

Fish hepatocytes and S9 fractions from Primacyt

Since the introduction of the OECD test guideline 319 in June 2018 and in accordance with the 3R principals more and more researchers worldwide use hepatocytes and liver S9 fractions from rainbow trout and other fish for in-depth risk-assessment and safety-evaluation of chemicals. We at Primacyt provide fish hepatocytes and S9 fractions for our clients […]

Cryopreserved carp and trout hepatocytes for in vitro biotransformation assays

An international group of researchers from Canada, Switzerland and Germany lead by Fraunhofer IMB in Schmallenberg compared biotransformation rates from rainbow-trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a cold-water fish species, and common-carp (Cyprio carpio), a warm water fish species frequently used for bioconcentration-factor (BCF) testing in Asian countries. As model test compounds served benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and methoxychlor (MXC). […]

Carp hepatocytes used to study the molecular mechanisms that pollutants have on aquatic animals

Common carp is inherently sensitive to changes in water quality. Therefore, Common carp is widely used as an animal model for aquatic toxicology. In addition, carp hepatocytes are more and more often used as a valuable in vitro model to study the molecular mechanisms responsible for the toxic effects of pollutants. 4-tert-butylphenol (4-tBP) is widely […]

Primacyt wishes for 2023

Being largely out of the Corona pandemic has given us back greater freedom to travel, which we were able to use to attend conferences and trade shows in Europe, Asia and North America to establish new customer contacts and maintain existing ones. This allowed us to increase […]
