In this edition, we are excited to announce our complete transition to animal origin-free (AOF) manufacturing for all recombinant proteins. This ensures the highest quality and consistency for researchers relying on these critical components. Additionally, discover our latest application notes featuring AOF BDNF and GDNF for neural differentiation and thermostable FGF-2 and TGF-β1 for weekend-free iPSC culture.

In this edition, explore our latest data on TGF-beta family proteins designed to facilitate faster optimization of cell culture media. Additionally, you will find other resources to support your research, learn about our upcoming events, and much more.

Welcome to our first newsletter of the year, where we will be highlighting new additions to our portfolio, resources to help your research, our latest promotional offer and upcoming event.

This edition highlights some of our latest resources and products. These include our high-purity mouse/rat Noggin, our newly launched Flt3L (Qk087) to our growing hematopoietic stem cell range and our latest blog on liver organoids emerging as a transformative model for malaria drug discovery.

This edition highlights some of our latest resources and products. These include a case study comparing mTESR, Stem Flex and media containing Qkine thermostable FGF2-G3 (Qk053), our high purity CNTF, and newly launched GM-CSF (Qk076) to our growing hematopoietic stem cell range. We are also excited to announce a new distribution agreement in the US with Thomas Scientific and a 30% discount for new customers for three months.

To support customers working on neural stem cells and glial cells, we have launched CNTF which is animal-free and highly bioactive for improved reproducibility in neural stem cell cultures. We have linked some useful resources, including a new neural on-demand webinar on ‘Advancements in Neurobiology Modeling’. Finally, learn about the first of our on-site stocking partnerships which allow customers same-day access to our products to provide the best and fastest service possible.

This month we launched FGF-1 to our expanding portfolio of animal-free growth factors and cytokines for the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of mesenchymal cells. We announced a new partnership focused on novel and sustainable food manufacturing systems and we also appointed a new European distribution partner, CliniSciences. Learn more in this edition of our Pep Talk.

This month, we are hosting a webinar on ‘Advanced Neurobiology Modelling with Stem Cells’ and will be joined by speakers from Kings College London and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases. We will also be opening our doors for National Manufacturing Day to offer the public the chance to learn about biomanufacturing.Learn more about these two events and find out more news in this edition of our Pep Talk.

This month, we launch M-CSF protein, our second product from our hematopoietic growth factor range, we offer a travel grant to ISSCR 2024 in Hamburg and you can learn more about organoids downloading our new brochure.
