Animal-Free Recombinant Proteins

R&D Systems uses dedicated animal-free fermenters in controlled-access labs. This ensures that the products are never exposed to potential contamination by animal components or byproducts.

Our dedicated controlled-access animal-free laboratories ensure that at no point in production are the products exposed to potential contamination by animal products. Every stage of manufacturing is conducted in compliance with R&D Systems stringent Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Production and purification procedures use equipment and media that are confirmed animal-free.

Production

• All molecular biology procedures use animal-free media and dedicated labware.
• Dedicated fermentors are utilized in committed animal-free areas.

Purification

• Protein purification columns are animal-free.
• Bulk proteins are filtered using animal-free filters.
• Purified proteins are stored in animal-free containers in a dedicated cold storage room.

Quality Assurance

• Endotoxin Level: < 1.0 EU per 1 µg of product.
• No impairment of biological activity.
• High quality product obtained under stringent conditions.
• For ex vivo research or bioproduction, additional documentation can be provided.
