Revolutionising how to obtain ingredients from plants

With Green Bioactives Plant Cell Culture Technology, we dissect target plant primary vascular stems cells from leaf materials in whole plants known to produce the target natural product.

The dissected cells are grown on solid media, with the appropriate nutrients and growth hormones to induce their proliferation away from their host plant.

The proliferated cells are then transferred to, and cultured in, liquid media for further proliferation and associated scale up.

Unlike dedifferentiated cells, VSCs are not sensitive to mechanical shear stresses in liquid culture, such as shaking and stirring. These stresses risk compromising the oxygen/nutrient circulation and effect dedifferentiated cell growth and yield. VSCs have multiple, very small vacuoles and as such this cryopreservation effect is minimal, allowing storage at a low temperature.’
