Induce pluripotent stem facility
 
React-UE : Bioproduction facility dedicated to the production of clinical grade human induced pluripotent stem cells.

The mission of the SAFE-IPS facility is to provide technological and scientific support to all the teams using induce pluripotent stem cells .

  • Culture of primary cells : PBMC or MSC
    We can purify, amplify, freeze and bank primary cells and iPS stem cells
  • Reprogramming : The core facility has already reprogrammed many cell lines from PBMC or fibroblasts.
  • Differentiation : The core facility can assist users for the implementation of several differentiation protocols (spontaneous differentiation, directed differentiation).
  • Training : The SAFE-IPS offers training for all the technique used, on demand. Do not hesitate to contact us for tailored training.
  • Clinical application : A whole new facility dedicated to GMP iPSC production (MTI-PP) will be available in September 2023

Available materials

In addition to hands-on assistance, we also provide infrastructure and equipment necessary for hPSC research. We maintain user lab space, which includes a fully equiped cell culture room (incubators, microscopes, etc.) and several lab benches which can be booked by our users on a daily basis. We also manage numerous equipment and make it available to our users for their hPSC based projects. An overview of the bookable equipment is listed below
