Serum-Free Media Scale-Up: Key Cost Factors
Scaling serum-free media is expensive, but smart strategies can cut costs significantly. The main expense comes from growth factors like FGF-2 and TGF-β, which dominate media costs. For instance, in...

Most products require no additional agreements. Cell lines and certain biological materials require a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) on first purchase from each supplier. We handle this digitally - both parties sign online before shipment. Subsequent orders from the same supplier proceed immediately.

Protevo Bio IGF1-LR3 is a recombinant analogue of human insulin-like growth factor 1, engineered for significantly enhanced biological potency and stability in cell culture environments. By incorporating an N-terminal extension and a specific amino acid substitution, this long-acting variant exhibits reduced binding affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), which typically inhibit the activity of native IGF-1. This modification extends the half-life of the protein in media, allowing for sustained stimulation of cell proliferation and survival at lower concentrations.
Produced via E. coli fermentation and purified using scalable, animal-free methods, this growth factor serves as a high-performance alternative to recombinant insulin in chemically defined media. It is particularly effective for supporting the expansion of stem cells and muscle progenitors in cultivated meat applications. The protein is supplied as a lyophilised powder with high purity and low endotoxin levels, ensuring consistent reproducibility for both research and large-scale biomanufacturing workflows.
