NEWBURYPORT, MA – November 26, 2018 – Cell Sciences, a supplier of high-quality reagents for biological research, announces an expanding line of high purity cytokines and growth factors. These products have been developed using a unique barley grain expression system to be 100% endotoxin-free by bypassing the use of animal or human serum, or bacterial products during production.
Barley grain expression is also commonly referred to as barley seed endosperm. Due to their benefit, increasing number of researchers use this bioreactor for proteins with eukaryotic folding, glycosylation, and pyrogenic activities.
“Our customers have expressed increased desire for these endotoxin-free products as data continues to support that an endotoxin limit of 1 EU/µg that is generally allowed in E. coli produced growth factors, significantly limits reproducibility of stem cell cultures,” said Dr. Anne Sloan, Technical Support Scientist at Cell Sciences. “Fluctuations in endotoxin contaminants between lots of the same growth factor can have varying and unpredictable results. Using our endotoxin-free growth factors, researchers can be confident of achieving consistency in their stem cell experiments.”
It has been proven that using these ultra-pure reagents could increase reproducibility in stem cell culture experiments. It could also save time, resources and are a cost-effective alternative to traditional recombinant proteins.
