  CUSTODIOL® HTK Solution is indicated for perfusion and flushing of donor kidneys, liver, pancreas and heart prior to removal from the donor or immediately after removal from the donor. The solution is left in the organ vasculature during hypothermic storage and transportation (not for continuous perfusion) to the recipient.

  Cell-Ess product offers researchers the advantage of superior performance compared to serum. As a replacement for FBS or any other type of serum, Cell-Ess is a 100% synthetic, reproducible medium with no lot-to-lot variation. Cell-Ess is free of all animal components.

  Tissue specimens preserved with Clin-Ess have less DNA and RNA degradation and fewer artifacts than those preserved using conventional methods, allowing for more efficient and safer tissue preservation than traditional methods. Additionally, Clin-Ess allows for transport without paraformaldehyde and as such does not effect downstream testing such as DNA and RNA tests.

  Cryo-Ess is a replacement in cryopreservation for toxic dimethyl sulfoxide (DSMO). Cryo-Ess protects the cells from ice crystals by preventing crystallization during the thawing process, and has demonstrated synthetic reproducibility with no lot-to-lot variability.
