In Partnership with ScaleReady
To streamline your workflow and enable your program to reach the clinic faster, we now offer our best-selling animal-free RUO and GMP immune cell therapy cytokines in a liquid formulation.
Learn more about ScaleReady.
Designed to simplify your complex processes, liquid frozen cytokines streamline your workflow, simplify your protocol, and achieve greater research efficiencies by eliminating the reconstitution step. This removes the risk of errors associated with reconstitution plus eliminates the need to maintain a sterile reconstitution buffer. With ready-to-use liquid formulations, you can focus on what matters most: making groundbreaking discoveries. Simply thaw and add to your cell culture.
Protein stability is paramount to ensure safety, bioactivity, and minimal variability. With this in mind, we have optimized protein concentrations and conducted extensive stability testing. You can rest assured of the potency and effectiveness of the liquid cytokines over time, ensuring consistent performance and reliable outcomes for your cell therapy.
Liquid formulations for these proteins are currently available to ship to the United States, Canada, and Europe. We are working to expand shipping to other parts of the world.

Direct comparisons of the liquid frozen (blue circles) and lyophilized (red squares) formulations of GMP IL-2, IL-7, and IL-15. All 3 cytokines were tested in cell proliferation assays with no difference in bioactivity observed for any of the cytokines. IL-2 was tested on CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cells, IL-7 was tested on PHA-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and IL-15 was tested on MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells.
Primary human T cell expansion was evaluated using both liquid format and lyophilized cytokines. Cells were expanded in G-Rex® 6M well plates using complete GMP Human T Cell Expansion Media supplemented with either 200 IU/mL GMP IL-2 or a combination of 10 ng/mL of both GMP IL-7 and GMP IL-15 in both liquid and lyophilized formats. After 9 days of expansion, cells were assessed for fold expansion and viability (left; data labels are mean % viability) as well as for memory phenotype using flow cytometry (right).
