One-of-a-Kind Animal-Free Facility
Animal-based cell culture nutrients, such as Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and other animal byproduct, presenting many challenges to the field including contamination risk, ethical concerns, and supply chain bottlenecks. Nu-Tek BioSciences is proud to provide premium animal-free yeast extracts and plant-derived peptones that actively address these concerns, manufactured in our dedicated facility. This means our customers have a reliable primary or secondary supplier of animal-free materials to secure their supply chain without sacrificing performance. This allows our customers to break away from existing culture media challenges entirely, or provide an opportunity for secondary sourcing to secure supply chains without sacrificing product performance. Our yeast extracts and plant-based peptones provide an excellent alternative to animal products like FBS, providing performance, quality and risk mitigation strategies for companies to support regulatory, supply chain and sustainability initiatives.
Production and Supply Benefits of our Dedicated, Purpose-Built Facility
Traditional facilities can require months of planning to begin animal-free production runs due to the extensive cleaning and validations required to transition between animal- and animal-free products. Thanks so our US-based purpose-built manufacturing facility, Nu-Tek can provide shorter lead times than other facilities without the risk of cross-contamination. Our dedicated space also provides a sustainable production capacity to meet customer growth needs. We also provide sourcing security by removing the risk of contamination, sustainability support, and extensive production capacity, thanks to our dedicated space. Our media supplements are non-GMO, Kosher, HALAL and come ready to accommodate your quality audit and regulatory submission specifications. With no production delays and state-of-the-art monitoring and controls, we are proud to provide a completely animal-free product portfolio to our global customer base.

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
Nu-Tek is helping our pharmaceutical partners meet sustainability goals with animal-free cell culture supplements. By removing animal and dairy farms from the process, plant based peptones push biological drug development towards more environmentally friendly and ethical practices.
