Description
Undifferentiated human iPSC lines supplied as cryopreserved vials, for customers who intend to run their own differentiation or who need a specific genetic background as the foundation of a longer program. This is the deepest point of the supply chain we broker and the one with the heaviest paperwork — most lines carry a material transfer agreement, donor consent terms and use restrictions that constrain commercial use and sometimes sequencing. Public prices exist and cluster tightly: iXCells lists 30HU-002 Human iPS Cell Line (Normal), 0.5-1.0 x 10^6 cells per vial, at $1,634.00, live-verified 2026-09-01, and ATCC lists several hiPSC lines including ACS-1013 (ATCC-DYS0530) at $1,739.00, re-confirmed live on the same date. Availability at ATCC is uneven — a substantial number of listed hiPSC catalog numbers currently show as not available for purchase, which is exactly the kind of thing a buyer discovers only at checkout.
Why this is hard to buy today
The line you want is frequently listed but not actually purchasable, and the MTA and use restrictions that determine whether you can commercialise anything downstream are not visible until after you engage.

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 | Required genetic background or named mutation |
| 02 | Isogenic control requirement |
| 03 | Reprogramming method and footprint constraints, if any |
| 04 | Karyotype and pluripotency documentation required |
| 05 | Intended use (research / commercial / therapeutic) for MTA scoping |
| 06 | Feeder-free vs feeder-dependent culture requirement |
Quality documentation
Typically available with this item. What actually ships is confirmed on the quotation, per supplier.
- Supplier certificate of analysis
- Pluripotency marker documentation
- Karyotype report per supplier
- Sterility and mycoplasma per supplier release testing
