Premium iPSC Models, Available for Select Customers
For over a decade, Ncardia has been advancing iPSC products for drug discovery and disease modeling. Beyond our established catalog, we also develop a range of non-catalog products: our Advance Research Series.
While not yet scaled for catalog distribution, these iPSC models are manufactured to our scientific standards so you can:
- Work with new cell types before they are universally available
- Generate impactful data using validated, human-relevant systems
- Contribute to the refinement of future catalog-ready solutions

Specifications:
- Our AT2 cells show robust expansion potential, with proliferation increasing steadily over a 7-day culture period
- Flow cytometry analysis confirms high expression of Pro-SPC in the majority of cells, supporting their AT2 lineage identity
- Strong ABCA3 expression further validates the presence of lamellar body-associated phenotype characteristic of functional AT2 cells
- Functional activity is demonstrated by secretion of surfactant protein C (SPC), as detected by ELISA in culture supernatants, confirming their physiological relevance
