Leading Researchers meet in Montpellier to discuss latest developments in in-vitro cell culture.

On 26 and 27 May 2010, researchers from academia and industry will participate in a symposium to look at progress in building more physiologically accurate  models of human metabolism for applications in drug development and safety testing for cosmetics and chemicals to meet the new European REACH legislation.

Welcome to Kirkstall Ltd

Inter-connected cell culture systems:

Kirkstall has developed an advanced cell culture system to provide in vivo - like conditions for cell growth.

The system can be configured to culture multiple cell types under controlled nutrient flow. By closely mimicking human metabolism the system provides a more physiologically accurate representation than culture grown in static well plates. Kirkstall’s interconnected cell culture systems provide a Quasi VivoTM environment for cell growth. The system has many applications in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic and research industries.

The modular based system incorporates a dynamic flow of nutrients through multiple cell culture chambers. Each chamber can
culture individual cell types or tissue allowing cell-to-cell signalling between and within each chamber.

The result is a high quality screening system which can generate improved metabolic information for many pharmaceutical applications, speeding up drug development, improving product safety and reducing animal testing - and saving money for our clients.

 

The Kirkstall Quasi VivoTM cell culture system is available in a ‘kit’ format (link) or is accessible on a contract research basis from Kirkstall (link)
