Why Animal Free
Why Animal Free
The Future of Pharma is Animal-Free
Animal-based cell culture nutrients are common in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. However, ingredients such as Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and other animal byproducts face increasing regulatory, ethical, environmental, and supply concerns.
Nu-Tek BioSciences provides customers with sustainable, 100% animal-free peptones and yeast extracts that remove the risk of contamination and supply bottlenecks. Our dedicated facility provides our customers with consistent products that are fit-for-function; whether you need a primary or secondary supplier, we have the materials that meet your production needs.

Eliminating Contamination Risks with FBS Alternatives
Nu-Tek’s plant-based peptones and yeast extracts eliminate the risk of contamination from human or animal diseases — including Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) — during fermentation and cell culture. Without the risk of cross contamination, FBS alternatives mitigate costs associated with animal-based ingredients.
Partnering for a More Sustainable Future with Plant-Based Cell Culture Supplements
