Innovation
improving the quality and activity of proteins available for stem cell and organoid research
Animal-free firsts
Our protein engineering and optimization expertise allows us to manufacture complex proteins, some for the first time, in animal-free systems.
Benefits of the Qkine animal-free approach:
- high lot-to-lot consistency for reproducibility
- exceptional purity and bioactivity
- no contamination from endogenous mammalian growth factors
- no viral, prion or trace animal-derived components
- industry leading endotoxin-free proteins
- no carrier-proteins for compatibility with all applications
- suitable for chemically defined media
Qkine animal-free innovations include:
Optimized isoforms
We work closely with the stem cell and organoid communities to understand the challenges of their culture systems. Optimized isoforms and protein variants help address these issues and improve stem cell cultures.
Qkine optimized isoforms and variants include:
Pioneering Proteins
Engineered proteins with unique properties of interest to stem cell science or regenerative medicine shouldn’t be retired to the back of the freezer; they should be made accessible so their contribution to the stem cell community can be maximised. Our Pioneering Proteins are a range of modified proteins developed by academic laboratories and manufactured to our high purity and bioactivity standards.
