Explore Leading Cell Lines for Bioreactors & Fermentation
Choosing the right cell line for a new product can be a daunting task. Be it strains, plasmids, recombination methods, or inducible factors: the options are seemingly endless for scientists.
To help relieve the stress of this first step, Solaris Biotech USA presents the “Industry’s Greatest Hits” -- a taxonomic atlas for the most popular cell lines and products used in everyday life.
From xanthan gum to chemotherapy, “Industry’s Greatest Hits” is a working database to reference how the strains you consider are used by other scientists.
