axoServicesTM iPSC Genome Editing
Outsource your iPSC project to the experts
Outsource your iPSC Genome Editing project to the experts and prioritize quality, experience and confidence
Make the right choice,
first time
With over a decade of experience in the human iPSC space, we understand that high-quality genome editing is challenging, with significant risks and costs if not performed well. But like you, we also see the enormous value in human iPSCs for building better, more physiologically relevant models of human disease.
That’s why we offer our iPSC expertise to leading biopharma and research organisations globally. We’ve developed a tried-and-tested workflow to combine the power of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing with our iPSC technology, to create accurate disease models and isogenic controls for research and drug discovery.
Clients who work with Axol share our obsession with doing it once and doing it well. We prioritize quality control and validation, always built-in as standard in our projects, to ensure there are no surprise challenges (or costs), maximizing project success. That gives you more confidence, time and resource to focus on your research to produce better human disease models for drug discovery and beyond.

What do you get with Axol?
Step 1. Kick-off meeting with the Axol iPSC experts
- Decades of experience in the room
- Open, two-way communication
- Rapid follow-up with competitive quote
Step 2. Characterization
- Cells tested for robustness to nucleofection and subcloning, with full characterization to ensure high-quality starting material
- We can also use our fully-characterized cells to maximize the quality of starting materials
Step 3. Genome editing
- Proprietary gene editing protocols used to generate disease models in healthy control cell lines
- Mutations introduced through powerful CRISPR-Cas9 reagents
- We can also correct those mutations in genomes of patient-derived cells to provide the matched control cell line
Step 4. Screening and expansion
- Screening for optimized PCR and sequencing to ensure correct targeting
- Cell expansion and creation of master cell banks and working cell banks
Step 5. QC and validation
- Rigorous QC to check for contaminants and optimal post-thaw viability
- Pluripotency analysis with flow cytometry
- Additional custom QC capabilities are available
Step 6. Ongoing support
- Continued communication and advice from iPSC experts
- Ease the adaptation of cells into your experimental system
- An open channel for future projects, collaborations and partnerships
We offer a bespoke service to fit your needs
Our custom iPSC genome editing service includes:
- Optimized and highly efficient gene editing workflow for iPSCs
- Screening a selection of gRNAs and >100 cell clones
