Innovative Cell Technologies was founded 25 years ago in San Diego, California. Twenty years ago, C. Kevin and Margie Becker purchased ICT and the technology from the original founders. Previously, the Beckers had founded and run a micro flow cytometry reagent and software business, Phoenix Flow Systems. Starting from scratch with ICT, Kevin wrote all the SOPs to document the entire manufacturing process which was not provided in the original sale of ICT. (Minor Detail) Within two years of the purchase of the company, and after the purchase of a building in the biotech area of San Diego, all manufacturing, including sterile fill and finish of all ICT products was brought in house. ICT manufacturing now runs under an ISO 13485:2016 Quality Control system and has a submitted and reviewed DMF with the FDA. ICT has an ISO 4 manufacturing suite, walk in cold rooms and freezers and an 18 mega Ohm water system.
ICT's products have seen steady growth in sales from the day C. Kevin & Margie purchased the company. We would like to say this is partially a result of our outstanding marketing strategies, but alas that would not be true; We practice stealth marketing. Accutase and Accumax sell because they are superior products that work better than any cell detachment product on the market. It also turns out they work darn well on embryonic stem cells. If you don't believe us, there are over 23,000 listing on Google Scholar for Accutase.
We continue to strive to improve our products and are always open for suggestions and looking for new strategic partners.
