Qkine manufactures high-quality and novel growth factors, supporting scientists in developing and scaling stem cell, organoid, cellular agriculture and regenerative medicine applications. We are also developing new growth factor technologies to enable emerging fields such as cultured meat and 3D cell culture. All Qkine high purity animal-free growth factor proteins are manufactured at our facility in Cambridge, UK . Extensive quality testing is conducted on every lot to guarantee reproducibility.Based on proprietary technology developed in the laboratory of Dr Marko Hyvönen, senior group leader at the University of Cambridge, Qkine manufactures highly pure bioactive recombinant proteins. Along with setting a new benchmark for protein purity, Qkine uses protein engineering techniques to tackle fundamental biological and scalability challenges that are holding back the stem cell and regenerative medicine sector; for example, recent projects have included development of optimised R-spondins to replace conditioned media for organoid culture. To give stem cell scientists peace of mind, Qkine manufactures its proteins in a dedicated animal-derived component-free (ADCF) laboratory under an ISO 9001:2015.
