Yucatan Miniature Swine Hepatocytes (Suspension)
Yucatan Minipig hepatocytes available in suspension, platable, or spheroid formats. Ideal for drug metabolism and toxicology studies.
Yucatan Miniature Swine Hepatocytes (Suspension) Overview
Yucatan Miniature Swine Hepatocytes (Suspension) is research-grade animal hepatocytes intended for preclinical and translational research. Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific information and handling details to support consistency across studies.
Primary hepatocytes retain metabolic enzyme activity critical for ADME studies, drug metabolism research, and hepatotoxicity screening.
Common applications
- Drug metabolism and CYP450 induction studies
- Hepatotoxicity and cytotoxicity screening
- Transporter activity and drug-drug interactions
- Metabolic clearance and intrinsic clearance assays
- In vitro ADME and DMPK studies
Collection, processing & handling
Primary hepatocytes are isolated using collagenase perfusion with documented viability and plating efficiency. Available as fresh suspensions, cryopreserved vials, or plateable formats. Shipped with validated cold-chain logistics and handling protocols.
Quality control & documentation
QC testing options available on request, including material-appropriate analytical checks and extended documentation. Standard documentation includes collection/processing metadata, lot identifiers, and chain-of-custody records. Custom QC panels can be configured for GLP or regulatory-facing studies.
Also available: matched liver tissue for in vivo correlation from the same species for comprehensive study design.
Ordering notes
For specific donor criteria, source, volumes, or custom handling requirements, request a quote and include your study specifications. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.
Yucatan Miniature Swine Overview
The Yucatan miniature swine has sparse hair and pigmented skin that closely models human dermatology and cardiovascular physiology. It is widely used in cardiovascular, dermal, and metabolic disease research.
