Validated Animal Component-Free Growth Factors for Cell Culture

Animal component-free (ACF) growth factors help promote cell growth without the safety risks that are sometimes associated with animal products, making them ideal for use in applications such as stem and cancer cell culture, immunological experiments, and antibody and vaccine development. Our collection of cell culture-validated, recombinant ACF growth factors have multiple benefits for cell culture experiments including:

  • High bioactivity with low endotoxins
  • Comparable (or higher) bioactivity versus animal-component containing recombinant growth factors
  • Little to no lot-to-lot variations or import restrictions
  • Reduced performance variability and consistent results

Enable a smooth transition towards novel clinical, pharmaceutical, biotech, and manufacturing applications with ACF growth factors. Click here to view our complete offering of ACF growth factors and cell culture-related reagents.
