Our technology is incorporated into two product families. The Celution ® System-related products are sold throughout Europe and Asia primarily into the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery market and are under evaluation by the U.S. FDA. Our StemSource ® products are sold globally for cell banking and research applications.
