About RoukenCells

RoukenCells is the cell product arm of RoukenBio, established to provide drug developers with engineered cell lines and ready-to-use immune cell banks for seamless integration into your in-house assay workflows.

Employing RoukenBio’s proprietary platforms, RoukenCells supplies off-the-shelf inducible IndEx-2 cell lines, advanced reporter cell lines and primary immune cell banks, providing researchers with fully characterised, ready-to-use cell products.

For tailored assay systems and broader in vitro drug discovery support, RoukenBio operates as the collaborative research partner arm, encompassing custom cell line engineering, complex immune cell assays and bioanalytical characterisation expertise.

United by a passion to make sense of complexities and overcome challenges, we apply our specialised knowledge to big-picture thinking. We will explore every option to deliver over and above for your project.

RoukenCells’ Purpose

Innovators need better in vitro models to answer critical questions earlier.

  • What activation thresholds matter?
  • How should we characterise mechanism of action?
  • Which candidate is worth advancing and why?

RoukenCells was formed to solve this gap by enabling therapeutic developers with advanced cell engineering products. By building a portfolio of engineered cell lines and primary immune cell banks we help teams move faster, reduce ambiguity and make confident, evidence-backed decisions.

What We Do

RoukenCells provides therapeutic developers with off-the-shelf cell products. Our extensive, continually updated product portfolio includes a wide range of pre-developed cell lines and immune cell banks.  Our offering includes:

IndEx-2 Inducible Cell Lines

Dual-inducible antigen control enabling threshold-based decision-making. Map activation windows and tune antigen density precisely.

Primary Immune Cell Banks

Standardised and expanded human immune cells designed for plug-and-play use across functional and co-culture assay formats.

Reporter Cell Lines

Pathway-aligned systems delivering quantitative bioluminescence readouts for real-time tracking of immune activation.

Constitutive expression cell lines

Stable target-expressing cell lines with defined antigen levels for screening & potency assays.

Our philosophy is simple:

"From engineered cell products to immune cell banks, everything is built for reliability, consistency, and speed so you can focus on generating insights, without needing to engineer cell models internally."

How Our Products Work

Whether you're screening candidates, modelling therapeutic responses or generating deeper mechanistic insight, our cell products are designed to reduce uncertainty and help you move breakthroughs forward faster.

Our teams ensure every product is:

  • Assay-ready and compatible with real-world assay workflows
  • Well-documented with CoA, QC packs and banking details
  • Reproducible across batches and donors

Our Strengths

Confidence in every vial

QC and high-quality standardised banking procedures.

Quality, transparency and reproducibility define our standards. Every RoukenCells product comes with clear documentation, defined banking procedures and licensing clarity.

Precision that drives decisions

Dual-inducible antigen control for threshold-based decisions with our IndEx-2 cell lines.

Dual-inducible systems, targeted integration tools and high-fidelity cell models built for complex immunological questions.

Compatible with In Vitro assays

Assay-ready cell lines and immune cell banks that plug into functional immunology workflows flawlessly.

Everything we make is ready to drop into functional in-vitro workflows - no troubleshooting, no modification, no lost time.
