Biorepository products
Amsbio are a global provider of human and animal biospecimens. Their biorepository offers a vast array of high quality biological materials to support your research. We supply a comprehensive range of samples from healthy, tumor and other disease states from multiple donors. Amsbio can identify the samples to match your research demands: however complex the donor demographics required, please contact us to find out how we can help.
- DNA (genomic DNA, cDNA)
- RNA (total RNA, mRNA, microRNA ...)
- Tissues (frozen or FFPE human and animal tissue samples from normal and diseased tissue types)
- Biofluids (High-quality human serum, plasma, blood and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) samples from healthy donors and donors with medical conditions)
- Proteins
- Primary cells
- FFPE cell line controls
Glycobiology
Amsbio offers specialized products and expertise in glycobiology research, vital for cellular biology and drug discovery. This includes a wide array of products for the detection and analysis of glycosaminoglycans, a class of polysaccharides which are abundant on the cell surface and in extracellular space – often associated with core proteins to form proteoglycans.
Cultured meat
Advances in cell culture, scaffolding and bioprinting have enabled the production of genuine meat, called cultured meat, from animal cells without the need for animal slaughter or the environmental costs of raising livestock. Amsbio products are supporting the ground-breaking research into this exciting new area of food technology, and aiding the development of new cultured meat products.

StemFit® Feeder-Free Stem Cell Culture Media - Allowing weekend-free culture of stem cells
StemFit® is a range of animal-origin free, chemically defined media proven to effectively maintain induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) under feeder-free conditions during the reprogramming, expansion and differentiation phases of stem cell culture and growth medium.
Benefits at a glance
- Animal-Origin-Free & feeder-free
- Weekend-free cell culture
- Reduced media consumption
- Reproducible growth rates
- Easy transition from feeder cells
- Superior colony-forming efficiency from a single clone
- Compatible with a large number of matrices
iMatrix Recombinant Laminin E8 fragments
Laminin is a type of extracellular matrix protein that functions as an adhesion molecule for various cells in the body. This heterotrimeric molecule - with alpha, beta and gamma chains - interacts with cell membrane receptor integrins via the E8 region, which is the smallest integrin-binding component. It is the alpha chain that mainly determines the function of the laminin, particularly how it controls cell behaviour and cell fate. Thus, the type of laminin present changes during the differentiation process of cells. By utilising the combination of laminin and cells in vitro for cell culture, it is possible to efficiently induce differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.
Amsbio offers the recombinant laminin E8 fragments of laminin-511, laminin-411, laminin-221, laminin-332, and laminin-111.
iMatrix series overview
- iMatrix-511 (α5β1γ1)– maintenance and expansion culture of pluripotent stem cells
- iMatrix-411 (α4β1γ1) – induction of differentiation of vascular endothelial cells from ES/iPS cells
- iMatrix-221 (α2β2γ1)– purification/maintenance culture of cardiomyocytes/skeletal muscle cells
- iMatrix-332 (α3β3γ2)– induction of differentiation from iPS cells to corneal epithelial cells
- iMatrix-111 (α1β1γ1)– induction of differentiation from human iPS cells to hepatoblast-like cells
