About JangoCell
JangoCell is a laboratory products and cell biology services provider specializing in stem cell technologies. JangoCell is a subsidiary of JangoBio, a biotechnology company targeting aging and age-related diseases using regenerative stem cell therapies. JangoBio was started in Madison, WI in 2015, and JangoCell grew out of that company, becoming an independent subsidiary in 2018. We started JangoCell with the aim of providing the exceptional stem cell products that we were producing through our own research to the rest of the research community. We grew from there to providing a range of cell biology products and custom cell biology services. Our goal at JangoCell is to provide you with the products and services you need to advance your science. We accomplish this through personalized or individualized services, to meet the specific needs of each of our clients.
JangoCell provides biological researchers with a wide range of products and services to support your ongoing research. Products include mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs; bone marrow-derived MSCs, adipose-derived MSCs, placental-derived MSCs, and umbilical cord-derived MSCs), immune cells (PBMCs and T-cells), classic cell culture media, cell culture reagents, cell-based assay kits, and cell culture consumables required to perform cutting edge cell biology.
As a cell contract research organization, JangoCell also offers custom services for researchers, including biomanufacturing and scalable cell expansion services (3D), ‘traditional’ cell culture services (2D), cell line development services, flow cytometry services, and cryostorage and cryopreservation of biological samples, as well as numerous downstream custom molecular biology services, for in vitro and preclinical data generation.
