Affordable recombinant growth factors for in vitro innovation.

High-purity. Animal-origin free. Built for African research.

Immobazyme manufactures recombinant human growth factors — EGF, IGF-1, FGF-2, and TGF-β1 — using a precision-fermentation expression pipeline that delivers research-grade protein at a fraction of the cost of imported alternatives.

Each product is produced to greater than 95% purity by SDS-PAGE, endotoxin-screened, and mycoplasma-free — giving research labs and cellular agriculture producers the consistent, analytically proven inputs their work demands, without the import delays and costs that have historically put these reagents out of reach for African laboratories.

RESEARCH LABORATORIES

For academic research groups, biotech companies, and CROs sourcing recombinant growth factors for cell culture, organoid development, or serum-free media formulation — Immobazyme offers research-grade protein at a fraction of international catalogue pricing, without compromising on purity documentation or analytical rigour.

We supply single vials through to bulk quantities, with consistent batch-to-batch quality and a Certificate of Analysis on every order. South African researchers benefit from local stock and no import delays.

CELLULAR AGRICULTURE PRODUCERS 

The cultivated meat and alternative protein sector requires affordable, scalable, animal-origin free growth factor supply — at volumes and price points that international catalogue suppliers are not designed to serve.

Immobazyme's precision-fermentation platform produces FGF-2, IGF-1, and TGF-β1 at the purity levels and batch consistency required for serum-free muscle cell culture, scaffold-based systems, and suspension bioreactor production. And Prolifer8™ — launching soon — provides a complete, defined serum-free kit validated for cellular agriculture applications.

Precision fermentation, FGF-2, and the science of cultivated meat

In collaboration with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Immobazyme produced a technical documentary on the role of recombinant growth factors — specifically FGF-2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 2) — in the development of cultivated meat.

The collaboration explores how precision fermentation enables the affordable, scalable production of research-grade FGF-2 for African research laboratories and cellular agriculture producers — and why the quality and consistency of growth factor inputs is the single most important variable in serum-free culture system performance.

Immobazyme partners with CSIR to produce FGF-2

Prolifer8™ — a complete serum-free media kit, built for the demands of modern cell culture.

Serum-free cell culture is the direction the field is moving — driven by reproducibility requirements, ethical sourcing concerns, and the specific demands of cellular agriculture. But assembling a defined, validated serum-free system from individual components is time-consuming, costly, and introduces batch-to-batch variability at every interface.

Prolifer8™ solves this by combining the three components every serum-free culture system requires — in a single, certified kit, produced under one quality system, validated together.
