Growth factor discovery kits for cultivated meat, fish, fat and dairy

Replacing animal-derived components, particularly fetal bovine serum (FBS), is essential for consistent performance, to remove the risk of contamination from viruses or prions and opens opportunities for fine-tuning of culture conditions.

Growth factor discovery kits

Qkine growth factors and cytokines have the advantage of being highly pure with guaranteed bioactivity, they are animal origin-free, tag free and carrier free. All Qkine proteins adhere to our Nine-point Qkine Quality Commitment.

For cultivated meat and cellular agriculture we provide extensive quality analysis, documentation and support with novel food dossier preparation. Qkine food grade growth factors are manufactured in the UK under a food manufacturing HACCP regime. Full raw materials traceability, allergen analysis, CoO, CoA, beta-lactam-free and animal origin-free certification are available.
