We’re excited to announce our partnership with PeptiGrowth Inc. and Mitsubishi International Food Ingredients, Inc. to introduce Growth Factor Alternative Peptide, the world’s first growth factor-substituting peptide as a highly stable and reproducible alternative to conventional growth factors and cytokines.
Currently, FBS and recombinant growth factors are used for cell culture. However, such products have some challenges, such as variation in quality among production lots, contamination by biological impurities, low stability, and extremely high prices.
PeptiGrowth’s Growth Factor Alternative Peptide replicates the functionality of conventional growth factors—such as receptor activation, cell proliferation, and differentiation, while delivering greater cost efficiency, shelf-life, and freedom from animal-derived contaminants.
Key Features of PeptiGrowth:
- Cost-efficiency- Requires 1/100 to 1/2 the amount compared to recombinant growth factors*
- High scalability can reduce the cost even more
- Fully synthetic and animal-free
- Lot-to-lot consistency
- Remains stable at 37°C, reducing media change frequency
- No toxicity was observed even at 10 μM
*Varies between products and applications
