Orokin Cells can be purchased directly from the market for , or as a reusable blueprint for .
==Gathering Tips==
These are based on opinions and may not be true. These should be viewed as advice unless proven undoubtedly true. Check comments for confirmation. Results may vary.
* Assassination and Invasion missions on a planet where Orokin Cells drop is a very quick way to get a lot of Orokin Cells. With good gear and/or good teammates, a fast moving squad can do a single run within 2 minutes.
** Lephantis on Magnacidium, Deimos has a chance of dropping up to 4 Orokin Cells in a single run. This is because Lephantis' loot table is rolled for each of its heads when they die during the first phase of the bossfight, and once more when Lephantis is finally defeated in the second phase of the fight.
*Making Helene, Saturn your go-to leveling spot (instead of Hydron, for instance) will passively keep your cell stock up.
*Piscinas on Saturn, a Dark Sector survival mission, yields Plastids as well as Orokin Cell in addition to offering XP bonuses. Expect 5 - 10 per 20-25 min run. 
**Bring a or with a slash-based weapon to increase drop chance, and a with and/or , if you have one, to take advantage of the double pickups and rare resource buffs.
*Exta, Ceres also has a fairly good chance of dropping Orokin Cells since it is a combination of bosses as well being on a planet with Orokin Cells on it.
*On Telesto, Saturn, one can get Orokin Cells from Cell Arrays: There are usually one to two arrays found at this map, which can drop 1-3 Cells.
*On Gabii, Ceres, you can get 4-7 Orokin Cells from opening containers or breaking Cell Arrays.
**Otherwise, a 10 minutes run with a and a slash-based melee weapon such as the , will grant around 4-7 Orokin Cells.
*Cassini, Saturn is one of the more popular missions to run to obtain a Kuva Lich because Capture missions tend to yield the shortest mission times on average. This means that players may encounter more Orokin Cell containers merely by grinding to obtain a Lich with a Kuva weapon they want.
==Trivia==
*Sometimes referred to as a "Raw Potato" or "Potato Seed" by the community, referencing how Orokin Catalysts or Orokin Reactors are called 'Potatoes'.
*Barring the , and the , Orokin Cells are required to craft all dual secondaries (either as it is or as a Forma). This does not include dual secondaries given away during events.
* Orokin Cells are used in constructing most Warframes and Prime weapons.
*Orokin Cells actually have the same icon as Orokin Catalysts and Orokin Reactors albeit flipped, resized and recolored.
*Prior to the removal of Trials, the reusable Orokin Cell blueprint could be acquired as a reward from The Law of Retribution Nightmare Raid.
