Neural portfolio

We are rapidly growing our growth factors for neural stem cell cultures, including BDNF, GDNF, and Shh. Our VEGF has been shown to be 2-fold more bioactive than others on the market. Try it today to see if you can optimize your cultures by reducing the VEGF and ultimately saving money. FGF8a and FGF8b will soon be released, please visit our neural stem cells landing page to see the full range.

BDNF/GDNF review

We recently had a very positive review from a researcher at The University of Cambridge who is culturing neurons using Qkine BDNF and GDNF – “Very happy with this product. My neuronal cultures look very healthy and there has been no difference in morphology or mechanism of the neurons since switching from a more expensive competitive brand. Our lab will be continuing to purchase.”

Last week, Qkine was recognised as one of seven companies in this year’s Cofinitive #21toWatch awards. This award recognises the People, Companies, and ‘Things’ that are setting the standards in innovation and entrepreneurship across the Cambridge, UK ecosystem. Catherine Elton, CEO of Qkine commented “We are grateful to Cofinitive and the judges for recognising Qkine as a 21toWatch company, the whole team have worked exceptionally hard over the last year to scale and establish our new HQ and manufacturing facility here in Cambridge. We are pleased to be a growing UK manufacturer supporting our stem cell scientist customers in over 28 countries. I couldn’t be prouder of the team and what we’ve achieved so far.”
