Qkine

Headquartered at Murdoch House in Cambridge, Qkine produces high-purity, animal-free growth factors, cytokines, and other complex proteins for life science applications, including stem cell and organoid culture. Qkine combines proprietary production processes with protein engineering technologies to address fundamental biological, quality, and scalability challenges. Our goal is to provide the highest purity bioactive proteins for research and biomanufacturing, offering optimal support to our customers and maximizing their scientific impact. As a leader in protein innovation, approximately 30% of our product catalog consists of unique offerings, including tag-free thermostable FGF-2 (FGF2-G3), the first animal-free TGF-β1 for chemically defined stem cell media, and animal-free HGF (NK1). We have developed a range of stable tag-free growth factors suitable for the most popular pluripotent culture formulations, and we also offer groundbreaking growth factor formats for organoid culture. Our products have broad applications, including hepatocyte, cardiac, and neural differentiation, all designed to enhance the reproducibility of your research. We actively support and innovate in emerging fields such as cellular agriculture, regenerative medicine, synthetic hydrogels, organ-on-a-chip, and bioprinting.
