Testimonial

Cell&Co is a specialized service provider that impressed us by the quality of its infrastructure, its ambition and its wide range of solutions. We have benefited from the team’s expertise and advice in setting up the group’s single biobank, covering our substantial livestock operation. Cell&Co’s client relations and the state of-the-art tools it proposes have been genuine assets in this strategic project that is far removed from our core business. Cell&Co has become our trusted partner for long-term sample storage.
