High quality and novel growth factors for stem cell and organoid culture, regenerative medicine and cellular agriculture
About us
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. We define rigorous quality criteria, with detailed data. Bulk orders and stock reservations are available. For more information please visit www.qkine.com, or contact the Qkine Team at info@qkine.com

Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF-10) is involved in several different embryo and adult cell and tissue types, including mesenchymal, neuronal and epithelial cells. FGF-10 is used widely for stimulating the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and embryonic stem cells (ESC) and promoting organoid formation. Qkine FGF-10 (Qk003) is animal -origin free, carrier free and tag-free. We test every lot for consistent bioactivity lot-to-lot for long-term reproducible stem cell cultures.
