Cell Guidance Systems (CellGS) is based in Cambridge (UK), at the heart of one of the world’s most exciting biotech regions. They develop therapeutic products as well as medical research tools and technologies that expand the possibilities of life science research and medicine.
Established in 2010, their growing success has been achieved by working closely with researchers to develop truly innovative products that address unmet medical and research needs. Many of their products are groundbreaking: For example, PODS® is overcoming stability issues of many proteins, offering new possibilities in research and hope for new therapies.
As well as providing reagents and research services, they are involved in several areas of therapeutic research based on PODS® technology. They are collaborating with researchers and companies in the UK, USA, Italy and Japan to develop therapeutics for a variety of diseases. More details and updates on their progress can be found in their technology and news pages.
They strive for the highest levels of service in all their interactions with customers and in their business dealings. The pursuit of quality drives everything they do, from the components they use, the manufacturing process and the final preparation and packaging of the product. They employ rigorous quality control to ensure products function effectively. They are here to help you in your quest to discover the unknown, understand the complex, and heal the diseases and medical conditions that affect us all.
Bio-Connect Life Sciences supplies all their products in the Benelux. If you have any questions, please contact the helpdesk.
Size profiling service for exosomes: Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a technique used for the simultaneous measurement of the size and concentration of single nanoparticles with high precision and reproducibility.
Cell Guidance Systems uses ZetaView®, a second-generation instrument which performs rapid in vitro measurement of physical parameters, including size, surface charge, and concentration of particles.
Please contact us if you have any questions about this profiling service.
