📢  𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐦® 𝐁 𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞: 𝐀 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐁𝐒 👋 Say hello to Proliferum® B, our ethical and high-performance cell culture media. 🔍 FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) is expensive, unreliable and unethical. 🔍 However, traditional replacements to FBS have been costly and slow to develop, delaying the journey from lab to market. 🌱 Proliferum® B is our more affordable, high-performance solution - tailored for cultivated meat production. Our panel of four Proliferum® B formulations is designed to support the growth of various bovine and murine cell types, performing best on bovine fibroblasts. Our latest data highlights Proliferum® B’s potential to deliver: ✅ Faster Growth: Shorter doubling times for multiple cell types ✅ Consistent Results: Maintained performance over multiple passages ✅ More Sustainable Outcomes: An ethical, animal component-free alternative to FBS 📊 Check out the graph to see how Proliferum® B stacks up against FBS across a range of cell models, including primary bovine fibroblasts and immortalised murine pre-adipocytes. 💡Ready to accelerate your cultivated meat R&D with food safe, animal component free media? 💬 Comment “Send Specs” to get the product spec today! #FBSReplacement #CellCulture #SustainableBiotech #ProliferumB #CultivatedMeat #SustainableFoodSystems #BioEngineering

🔬  FBS shortages are shaking up biomanufacturing - but there’s a better way forward. Record-low cattle herd sizes in the US are causing serious pressure on the global fetal bovine serum (FBS) supply (USDA, 2024). Supply constraints, batch variability, and rising costs are further increasing pressure on biomanufacturing companies. 📉  Why it matters: FBS remains a core input for R&D and scale-up across life sciences. However, reliance on it poses real risks – from limited availability to regulatory uncertainty and animal welfare concerns. 💡  This shortage is an opportunity for biomanufacturing companies to make the switch towards cheaper, more consistent, and fully scalable media. Proliferum B® is our animal-free FBS replacement that offers a more sustainable and scalable alternative, without compromising performance. 🧫  Proliferum B® is: ✅  Animal component-free ✅  Cost-effective and scalable ✅  Validated across key cell lines By removing FBS from the equation, we’re helping companies reduce risk, simplify their supply chains, and move faster from lab to market. 🔗  Curious about switching to Proliferum B? Speak to our scientists here: www.multus.bio/products #FBSReplacement #AnimalFreeMedia #CultivatedMeat #Biomanufacturing #FoodInnovation #CellCulture #FutureOfFood #SustainableScience #ProliferumB

🌱  Curious about Proliferum® B? Proliferum® B is our animal component-free FBS replacement for cell culture. Designed with AI and industry-relevant cells, it accelerates early R&D, delivering shorter doubling times and consistent performance. It’s optimised to support the growth of primary fibroblasts without the need for animal serum - helping you reduce cost, increase consistency, and simplify regulatory approvals. Here are 5 of your most common questions answered ⬇️ 🧫  Can I use Proliferum® B without coating my plates? Proliferum® B works best with a tissue culture coating. It may support growth without a coating for some cell types, but cells should first be adapted to Proliferum® B before being tested without a coating. 🔬  Can I switch directly from FBS into Proliferum® B? Yes! Most cells don’t need adaptation, as they can be put on Proliferum® B immediately. 🧬  Can I use Proliferum® B with non-bovine cell types? Proliferum® B serves as a general-purpose serum replacement, though it works best with muscle-tissue-derived cells. It’s been successfully used with bovine and murine fibroblasts, and we’ve seen promising initial results with cells from other species, such as fish and water buffalo. 🏭  Can I use Proliferum® B in food or pharma applications? Proliferum® B is produced at food-grade and is designated for research use only. 💊  Can I get GMP-grade Proliferum® B at scale? Not yet - GMP-grade versions are part of our future roadmap as we scale our production capabilities. 💬  Got more questions?

How the Science of Beer is Shaping the Future of Food 🍻➡️🥩 At first glance, beer brewing and cultivated meat have little in common. But the science behind them - fermentation - holds the key to making sustainable, scalable, cultivated meat a reality. Fermentation has been used for centuries to brew beer. It feeds on sugars, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. This process also creates beer’s unique flavours and aromas. With the support of Innovate UK, we partnered with New Wave Biotech to take a process inspired by brewing and make it work for food production: Instead of brewing beer, we engineer yeast to produce growth factors - the proteins that fuel cell growth. These growth factors are then filtered and concentrated. With New Wave Biotech’s technology, we fine-tuned filtration parameters to improve the efficiency of growth factor production without costly trial and error. The results? 📈 ✅ 2.2x reduction in cost ✅ Increased yield ✅ Less reagent usage, making the process more sustainable This case study is just one example of how fermentation techniques can unlock new efficiencies in the journey to making cultivated meat a commercial reality. 🔗  Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eZQWpzfJ #CultivatedMeat #FoodInnovation #Fermentation #Biotechnology #SustainableFood
