Ilex Life Sciences begins distribution of ISOkine® Animal-Free Growth Factors & Cytokines from ORF Genetics!
ORF Genetics has appointed Ilex Life Sciences as a worldwide distributor of their ISOkine® Animal-Free Growth Factors & Cytokines!

Based in Iceland, ORF Genetics is an innovative plant biotechnology company and a pioneer in developing and manufacturing high-quality ISOkine® recombinant cytokines and growth factors in bioengineered barley plants. ORF Genetics has a unique expression system, ORFEUS, that uses barley grain as a vehicle for large-scale recombinant protein production, providing a more efficient, safe, and economical method than other protein expression systems.

ORF Genetics grows the barley in its own high-tech, eco-friendly greenhouse, located in a black lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula, using Iceland’s renewable geothermal energy resources.

With the extensive progress in the field of stem cell research and cell-based therapy applications, the market is demanding recombinant proteins of high quality, bioactivity, and safety. ISOkine® growth factors & cytokines meet that demand as they are specifically produced for stem cell research, regenerative medicine, and organoid production and are totally animal-free (AOF/ACF), serum-free, and void of antibiotics, endotoxins, viruses, and prions.
The addition of ISOkine® growth factors & cytokines to our offering is a natural expansion of our well-established focus on next generation products for cell culture and tissue engineering!
