About ExpressCells

ExpressCells is a private biotechnology company based in Philadelphia, PA. Its propriety genome editing technology, in combination with CRISPR/Cas9, creates advanced, knock-in cell line up to 75% faster than older processes. This technology allows ExpressCells to insert up to three genes into the same cell line.

ExpressCells' first knock-in cell lines code for bioluminescent and fluorescent proteins. These allow scientists to more see the results of their experiments in real time. ExpressCells sells both custom cell lines—each designed to meet the specific requirements of an individual scientist—and catalog cell lines. For more information, visit www.xpresscells.com.
