Human Embryonic (hES) and induced Pluripotent (iPS) cell facility is a tissue culture lab perfectly equipped for the culturing of these types of cells.

Culture of hES cells and especially iPS cells is extremely time-consuming and difficult. The cultures are not available commercially. The facility's services include using our super sterile lab, distributing live cultures of the lines and maintaining hES and iPS cells for the users.

New: hiPS cells are now available!

Two-day hands-on technical classes on the basic culturing methods are offered.
