Cell Immortalization Reagents

Immortalized cells are highly preferred over primary cells due to their ability to provide unlimited, consistent access to the same cell line. This eliminates the issues of batch-to-batch variability and the high costs associated with primary cell use.

As a pioneer in cell immortalization technology, abm offers:

  • A comprehensive library of immortalized cell lines for human, mouse, and other key research model organisms.
  • Industry-leading immortalization reagents for researchers who wish to immortalize their own primary cells.

Our selection features the widest range of reagents and the highest quality standards—areas where competitors simply can't compare. Whether you're seeking ready-to-use cell lines or advanced tools to immortalize your own, abm has you covered.
