Qkine: Highly bioactive growth factors used in organoid cultures
The journey from basic discoveries to clinical applications is often hampered by issues of reproducibility, predictability, and clinical relevance. Building robust in vitro and in vivo studies is essential for validating preclinical findings and ensuring their successful translation.
LAB-A-PORTER is committed to facilitating this by providing researchers globally with suitable reagents and tools. We support researchers on their preclinical research, from discovering drug targets and biomarkers to developing and testing in advanced in vitro and animal models, ultimately helping bridge the gap to clinical success.
In the following weeks, LAB-A-PORTER is going to showcase a series of products that have been highlighted in our booth at ISSCR 2025 Hong Kong, including tools for disease modelling, drug discovery, cell and gene therapy research and tissue engineering research.
This week, we are going to introduce one of our trusted supplier, Qkine, and their highly bioactive growth factors used in organoid and stem cell research for disease modelling.
Qkine: Highly bioactive growth factors used in organoid cultures
High-quality growth factors are essential for the development and maintenance of robust, reproducible, and physiologically relevant organoid cultures. Therefore, it is crucial to use growth factors from reliable sources with stringent quality control measures ensuring the purity, stability, and bioactivity of the growth factors. Choosing an animal-free supplier guarantees that there are no contaminating endogenous growth factors, allowing scientists to have confidence in their cell culture.
Qkine manufactures bioactive animal-free recombinant proteins at an ISO9001:2015 certified facility based in Cambridge, UK. Qkine combines proprietary production processes with protein engineering technology to tackle fundamental biological, quality, and scale-up challenges to provide more reliable tools for research and bio-manufacturing. As one of the leaders in protein innovation, approximately 30% of their catalogue is made of unique products. They have developed a portfolio of stable, and protein tag-free growth factors aimed at increasing reproducibility and scaling-up your organoid research.
