-- Profacgen is well-regarded for its custom protein production and bioinformatics solutions that help researchers and industries push the boundaries of science with advanced tools. They’ve come out with some Animal-Free Expression Systems that swap animal-derived materials for plant and microalgae platforms. These new systems give scientists safe, dependable, and scalable ways to produce recombinant proteins.
Normally, protein expression depends on mammalian or insect cells. While popular, these methods can be pricey, need special expertise, and risk contamination from animal-based pathogens. Because of these issues, the research and industry sectors are more interested in safer, alternative methods that still offer reliable outcomes.
Profacgen’s platform utilizes plants and microalgae as hosts for protein expression. They offer various systems catered to different research requirements, from rice grain systems with high yields and stability, to lettuce for quick, efficient protein production, and tobacco for scaling up therapeutic proteins, along with microalgae for cost-effective options with advanced modifications. These choices let researchers pick what fits best with their projects, whether they’re in the early research phase, drug development, or need large-scale production.
“This launch is more than expanding our services,” said Ellen, Chief Marketing Officer at Profacgen. “It’s about addressing the common problems scientists face in labs. We aim to make the protein expression process smoother and more predictable, cutting out the hassles that slow down research.”
The platform includes three specific expression systems tailored to different needs:
- Lettuce transient expression: Delivers proteins in days with low costs and setup.
- Nicotiana tabacum expression: A reliable plant host for steady yields at a large scale.
- Microalgae expression: Offers a safe, economical way to express proteins via nuclear and chloroplast pathways.
With no animal-based inputs, these systems work well for lab research, making therapeutic proteins, and manufacturing diagnostics. They also minimize risks related to sourcing materials and make it easier for labs to meet regulatory guidelines. By adding plant and algae options, Profacgen gives teams more flexibility in choosing reliable and scalable production approaches.
With this expansion, Profacgen is revamping its services to better serve researchers’ needs and keep up with trends in biotech. Their focus goes beyond offering new systems; it’s about helping researchers bridge the gap between experimental work and practical applications.
