Cynomolgus Monkey Homogenates
Cynomolgus Monkey primary cells (Macaca fascicularis) isolated using validated methods. Available fresh or cryopreserved with viability guarantee. Contact us for cell-specific specifications.
The Cynomolgus Monkey
Macaca fascicularis
The cynomolgus macaque is the most widely used non-human primate in biomedical research, valued for its close physiological and immunological similarity to humans.
With over 60% genetic homology for key immune receptors, cynomolgus monkeys provide highly translatable data for drug development, making them ideal for immunology, infectious disease, and toxicology studies.
Human Similarity
~93% genetic homology with extensive immune receptor cross-reactivity
Global Availability
Multiple geographic origins with established breeding colonies
Regulatory Accepted
FDA & EMA preferred species for biologics safety assessment

Geographic Origins Guide
Select the optimal origin for your research requirements
Chinese Origin ★ MOST COMMON
mainland
Chinese-origin cynomolgus are no longer exported by China. Cynomolgus macaques are not native to China and were historically imported from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia. Current samples are sourced from US breeding colonies established from China-line imports.
Mauritian Origin ★ DEFINED GENETICS
island
Mauritian cynomolgus have limited MHC diversity due to founder effects, making them valuable for immunology studies requiring genetic consistency.
Cambodian Origin ★ SOUTHEAST ASIAN
mainland
Cambodian-origin animals offer a Southeast Asian source with genetics that have not been mixed with other country lineages in the same way seen in some China-line populations.
Vietnamese Origin ★ SOUTHEAST ASIAN
mainland
Vietnamese cynomolgus provide another Southeast Asian option for programs that require distinct lineage sourcing or supply chain diversification.
Indonesian Origin ★ ISLAND ORIGIN
island
Indonesian-origin cynomolgus were among the earliest origins used in preclinical research and represented one of the largest research populations before China entered the market.
Philippine Origin ★ ISLAND ORIGIN
island
Philippine-origin cynomolgus were one of the first origins used broadly in research, with a long history as a trusted and widely used model.

Tissue homogenates provide a complete representation of all cellular components and subcellular fractions. They are used for: total enzyme activity measurements, protein/DNA/RNA extraction, metabolite quantification (drug levels, biomarkers), and as starting material for subcellular fractionation.
Store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; aliquot upon first thaw. Thaw on ice. Homogenates may require brief sonication or vortexing to resuspend particulate material. Protease inhibitors are included in the homogenization buffer unless otherwise specified.
We can prepare homogenates from liver, kidney, brain, heart, lung, intestine, and other tissues. Liver homogenates are the most commonly requested for drug metabolism studies. Contact us for specific tissue availability and custom homogenization protocols.
Total protein concentration is typically 20-60 mg/mL depending on the tissue type and homogenization ratio (w/v). Liver homogenates are typically prepared at a 1:3 or 1:4 (w/v) ratio. Exact concentration is measured by BCA or Bradford assay and reported on the Certificate of Analysis.
Each lot includes total protein concentration, tissue weight, homogenization ratio, and buffer composition. The Certificate of Analysis documents all preparation parameters.
