Sub-cellular Fractions and Hepatocytes
Subcellular Fractions for Toxicology Studies
Krishgen Biosystems provides a comprehensive range of sub-cellular fractions and hepatocytes for toxicology and ADME/DMPK research. Our offerings include high-quality human and animal-derived microsomes, S9 fractions, cytosolic fractions, and cryopreserved hepatocytes, sourced from industry-leading partners such as BioIVT. These products are rigorously tested to ensure consistency and reliability in metabolic and pharmacokinetics studies, enabling researchers to perform accurate in vitro and ex vivo analyses.
From our partners we provide subcellular fractions, hepatocytes, microsomes and tissues for ADME application:

Frequently Asked Questions
The use of the proper anticoagulant is important, as the wrong one can interfere with your studies. Please read our blog for more information and ensure you are working with the biospecimen for your downstream workflow.
At BioIVT we have 7 gender designations for individual and pooled genders, they are:
- Female - Individual Female
- Male - Individual Male
- Gender Unspecified - Individual with no specification of Male or Female
- Female Pooled - Pooled Females, at least 2
- Male Pooled - Pooled Male, at least 2
- Gender Pooled - Pooled Male/Female at known numbers of each
- Gender Unspecified Pooled - Pooled Male/Female with unknown numbers of each gender
The amount of biofluid or tissue that can be procured is animal and strain dependent. Please click here for a handy chart that answers your questions.
We generally provide the following information about each of the donors on the COA: Age, Gender, Race, Tobacco Use, Alcohol Use, Prescription Medication Use, Non-prescription Drug Use, Significant Medical History, and Cause of Death.
For ethical and privacy reasons we do not provide any information which might identify the donor.
The characterization information for cryopreserved hepatocytes, microsomes, and S9 products can be found online by viewing the Characterization Tables below.
Alternatively, there is characterization information found on the respective product pages under the Resources tab.
Cryopreserved products should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase (-150°C or below). Detailed handling and thawing instructions are provided with each product.
When stored correctly, cryopreserved products typically have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months. Check the product datasheet for specific details.
In-stock products are shipped within 3–5 business days. Custom or bulk orders may require additional lead time, which we’ll communicate during the ordering process – typically 2 – 3 weeks.
Cryopreserved hepatocytes are shipped in liquid nitrogen vapor phase containers to maintain ultra-low temperatures and preserve product quality. These are hand-delivered by Krishgen team members pan-India.
Fractions are shipped in dry ice.
Cryopreserved products should be immediately transferred to liquid nitrogen vapor (-150°C or below). Other fractions may have specific storage instructions detailed on the product datasheet
Krishgen (and BioIVT) offer reservation of particular lots only against purchase orders received. These can be “open” purchase orders with the total quantity, with delivery of products staggered over the required time period. Speak to our inside sales team to set up a lot reservation for you.
