We're pleased to share a new application note from our collaboration with REPROCELL Europe, demonstrating the successful generation of full-thickness human skin equivalents using REPROCELL's Alvetex® scaffold technology and Qkine's animal-origin free growth factors. 

The note explores how our TGF-ß1 PLUS™ protein - the only commercially available animal origin-free version - supported robust dermal equivalent formation with enhanced collagen deposition compared to competitor products.

Qkine's TGF-ß1 PLUS™ is the only commercially available animal-origin free TGF-ß1 protein. Manufactured under strict quality controls with guaranteed bioactivity and batch-to-batch consistency, it delivers the reproducibility essential for complex 3D tissue models and long-term cultures.

TGF-ß1 PLUS™, like all Qkine proteins, is:

• Animal origin-free
• Supplied with extensive QC and bioactivity data
• Designed for consistent performance in sensitive in vitro systems

If you are developing complex tissue models or transitioning away from serum-derived or animal-origin components, we think you’ll find this application note a useful reference.

You can purchase our TGF-ß1 PLUS™ here, or for more information feel free to browse our other application notes here.
