Description
Cryopreserved human cardiomyocytes differentiated from iPSCs, supplied as ventricular-like or atrial-like subtypes and as normal, disease-mutant or cardiotoxicity-screening configurations. These cells beat spontaneously within days of plating, which makes them the cheapest and fastest route to a genuinely contractile human tissue and the natural entry point for biohybrid actuator work that does not specifically require skeletal muscle. Axol's public storefront, queried live on 2026-09-01, lists ventricular and atrial cardiomyocytes from a 74-year-old male donor at $494.00 per >=1 million cell vial and from a 45-year-old female donor at $580.00, with media-plus-supplement-plus-coating kits at $1,359.00 and $1,445.00. FUJIFILM CDI lists iCell Cardiomyocytes from $602 and a 4-million-cell CardioTox kit from $1,739. Note that Axol's ax2508 and ax2518 lines descend from the ax0018 donor lineage and carry the documented sequencing restriction.
Why this is hard to buy today
Cardiomyocyte pricing spans roughly $494 to $1,868 for what buyers read as the same product, because purity percentage, subtype specificity, vial count and bundled media differ in ways no vendor normalises.

These are supplier list prices we located and recorded, not a quotation from Wetware World. Your price depends on quantity, specification and freight, and is only binding once issued in writing.
What you must specify
A quote cannot be produced without these. Anything you leave open, a supplier will assume — usually expensively.
| # | Parameter |
|---|---|
| 01 | Subtype (ventricular-like / atrial-like) |
| 02 | Donor age and sex, if constrained |
| 03 | Genotype (normal / named cardiomyopathy or channelopathy mutation / isogenic control) |
| 04 | Cell count and vial quantity |
| 05 | Kit vs cells-only |
| 06 | Downstream format (monolayer, spheroid, cast 3D tissue, MEA) |
| 07 | Sequencing intent (lineage restrictions apply to some donors) |
