DefiniGEN and Atelerix collaborate to ship in vitro cell models internationally without the need for freezing or cryopreservation

DefiniGEN Ltd., and Atelerix Ltd., today announced they have successfully shipped in vitro liver models from the UK to a top tier pharma customer in the US. The agreement between the companies combines DefiniGEN’s mechanistically relevant iPSC hepatocytes (Opti-Heps) with Atelerix's hydrogel preservation technology, which prevents loss of function and enables even sensitive samples to remain stable at ambient temperatures for up to two weeks.
