Medicyte GmbH

Medicyte is a life science company specialized in the controlled, scalable propagation and standardization of human primary cell products.

The company has developed a unique proprietary cell proliferation platform that forms the basis for novel cell-based research and drug development tools. With its proprietary upcyte® technology, Medicyte is able to expand human primary cells thereby generating proliferating assay-ready cells from various human healthy or diseased tissues. The well characterized cell strains retain primary-like metabolic and physiological features as well as the typical cell-type specific morphology. upcyte® products make human primary cells accessible for meaningful standardized and cost-effective cell based assays to be used in a wide range of applications in life science research and pharmaceutical development.

Choose from a comprehensive upcyte® portfolio from different healthy or diseased human tissues, including cells of the hepatic, cardiovascular, immune, skin or airway system. The quality-controlled, assay-ready cells are delivered along with optimized media, detailed information on cell type specifications, and a standardized protocol for use. For individual requirements, Medicyte offers custom-upcyting of selected donor tissues as an in-house service.
