ExCellness Biotech

ExCellness Biotech is a biotech company that provides non-degradable tissue culture surfaces with the elasticity of human tissue, ranging from the stiffness of bone to the softness of brain. They offer biomimetic, elastic cell culture substrates designed to help cells feel at home and improve cell characteristics and phenotype in laboratory applications.

The PrimeCoat series is their main product line, featuring elastic substrates available in 8 degrees of softness measured in kPa (0, 2, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 100 kPa). These substrates come in 4 standard formats including 100 mm diameter dishes, 35 mm diameter dishes, 24-well plates, and ultra-thin glass bottom dishes.

ExCellness Biotech was incorporated in 2009 as a spin-off project from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. They maintain close contact with EPFL research competencies and actively collaborate with the University of Toronto (UoT) in Ontario, Canada to further develop elastic substrates.

Customers can order PrimeCoat elastic substrates directly through their website excellness.com, which provides a 'How to order' section. The substrates require to be coated by the end user to promote cell adhesion before use.

The PrimeCoat substrates are compatible with most standard molecular or cellular techniques, including immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, protein analysis like Western blotting, and RNA/DNA extraction. They are also transparent and can be visualized with standard transmission light microscopes such as Phase contrast or DIC.

Reviewers consistently praise the top-notch customer service, noting that the team is always ready to assist and responds promptly to inquiries. Many users also highlight the excellent quality of the products and the ease of navigating their informative website.

The PrimeCoat series is designed to allow researchers to determine the optimal mechanical conditions for cells to express proteins of interest appropriately. It also enables the modeling of healthy and diseased tissues in vitro and studying the effect of substrate elasticity on cell proliferation rates and apoptosis.

The PrimeCoat elastic substrates are non-degradable and transparent, allowing cells to be visualized with standard transmission light microscopes. They are also easy to use for cell culture and subsequent analysis, making them accessible for various laboratory applications.

Some reviewers mention that the website excellness.com is user-friendly and provides all the necessary information, while others note that the customer service is efficient and answers queries promptly. The overall sentiment is highly positive regarding product quality and support.

ExCellness Biotech aims to provide biomimetic, elastic cell culture substrates that imitate the physical properties of tissues in the human body. Their technology is based on the fact that the softness of the culture surface influences cell performance, helping to model healthy and diseased tissues in vitro.

The company's website excellness.com provides detailed information about their products and services, including a section on how to order. The site is described as easy to navigate and informative by multiple reviewers.

ExCellness Biotech offers culture dishes with elastic surfaces that imitate the physical properties of tissues in the human body, ranging from the stiffness of bone to the softness of brain tissues. This range allows for versatile applications in cell culture research.

ExCellness Biotech is located at Parc Scientifique Epfl, Chavannes, Vaud.
