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
