CROMWELL, Conn. & MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biological Industries USA (BI-USA), a division of Biological Industries Beit Haemek Israel (BI), and Primorigen Biosciences, Inc. announce a strategic partnership for non-exclusive worldwide distribution of Primorigen’s proprietary Vitronectin XF™ protein matrix for stem cell culture.
“Primorigen and Vitronectin XF™ are an excellent fit with BI-USA’s strategic goal of providing defined and reliable solutions to further advance stem cell research, cell therapy development, and drug discovery,” commented Daniel Haus, PhD, Scientific Affairs Manager at BI-USA.
Vitronectin XF™ is a widely used defined recombinant human protein for human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) attachment, growth, and differentiation. The new agreement adds a key asset to the extensive BI-USA portfolio of stem cell culture solutions and will be distributed under the Primorigen brand. BI-USA has performed extensive evaluation of Vitronectin XF™ in combination with BI’s NutriStem® hPSC Medium, resulting in consistent long-term culture of pluripotent cells in a chemically defined, xeno-free environment.
“BI-USA’s products and dedication to the stem cell and regenerative medicine fields nicely complement Primorigen's, and will enable the scientific community to further leverage the many benefits of Vitronectin XF™,” said Chuck Oehler, CEO of Primorigen.
