    High Quality MEFs

MEF Feeder Cells

We offer multiple lines including: CF-1DR4Neo-resistant and SNL (STO) feeder cells. All MEF cells are very high quality and are manufactured in the US under ISO:9001 QMS. We offer both untreated cells for further expansion and treated cells that can be directly used as a feeder layer.
