Cell culture services

Contract research and development for functional characterization of immuno-biologically active substances and materials

The human immune system is regulated by a complex network of signals between various cell types. The combination of cell types, structures, and interactions must be preserved in any testing model to accurately assess the effects an investigational product may have on the human immune system. To provide researchers with reliable in vitro testing models throughout the development continuum, HOT Screen GmbH offers highly standardized, yet complex cell culture solutions for in vivo-like substance characterization and profiling, called Human OrganotypicalTest (HOT) Systems.

What HOT Screen offers

• Immuno-pharmacological and immuno-toxicological characterization, primarily in highly standardized complex human cell culture models
• Contract development of customized cellular and non-cellular test systems, e.g. bioassays for quality control of recombinant proteins
• Consulting services around clinical trials for immunologically active drugs (anti-inflammatory, immuno-suppressive, immuno-potentiating, etc.)
• Moreover, we provide more than 20 years of extensive experience in the critical testing of complex biological materials (natural products, such as herbal extracts, probiotics, etc.)
