PRIMACYT – Skin tissue
Our Strengths

PRIMACYT is one of the pioneers in the development of advanced in vitro model systems. We are a leading company in the field of research of human and animal hepatocytes.
In 2008, we have received the Research Prize of the German Ministry of Nutrition, Agriculture and Consumer Protection for the “Development and validation of a serum-free, standardized and re-usable human hepatocyte culture system for the analysis of food, drugs and chemicals”.
PRIMACYT is approved by the European Commission as an EU Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM) since 2013 and serves as a member of the laboratory network responsible for the method validation.
Main products, liver-derived and skin-derived products, are cryopreserved at the first passage stage, and the product information below clearly states the viability, recovery rate, suitable plates for culture, and test results for 3D culture.
Skin tissues Order Information
Overview
Skin and skin-derived products are available for in vitro human skin models to assess pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, and other consumer products.
PRIMACYT offers skin tissues from human. These ex vivo skin explants serve as valuable model systems and tools for drug discovery and cosmetic development.
Human skin tissues are used for applications like
- Characterisation of topically applied pharmaceuticals (OECD TG 428)
- Safety assessment of biocides, agrochemicals (EU 528/2012)
- Safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients
- Classification of substance based medical devices (EU 2017/745)
