Agrenvec is a biotech that produces high-quality recombinant proteins using plants as biofactories.
Pioneering plant-based manufacturing, we have twenty years of experience behind us.
Pioneering plant-based manufacturing, we have twenty years of experience behind us.
Our molecular biology and proteomics laboratory is fully equipped with the state-of-the-art technology
Its inherent biological properties, widely studied at academic level, made it the ideal host to produce the recombinant proteins, using the plant cell natural metabolism.
Every single plant is a tiny living factory, a mini laboratory. Thousands of plants are cultivated every week to maintain a constant delivery of green biomass, full of massively produced recombinant proteins
being an animal-free process, plants eliminate the risk of mammalian (human or animal) contaminants and associated bio-risks.
unlike bacteria-based expression systems, plant cells do not produce endotoxins.
Are used in our procedures.
just two months from the gene sequence to the first sample of purified protein.
Eukaryotic plant cells are able to produce complex human recombinant proteins almost the same way mammalian cell cultures do, including post-translational modifications, and disulfide bonds. Quite often post-translational modification of proteins is necessary to maintain their structure, function, stability, and antigenicity.
Plants grow under contained conditions. This maintains batch consistency and excludes seasonal variability. Outdoor cropping affects the phytochemical profiles of plant extracts, depending on climate, soil, latitude, seasonal factors, time of harvest, and the field management practice, which challenge standardization of the purification process.
Plant cultivation is rapid and easily scalable under demand by just growing more plants.
Sustainable production: contained conditions minimize water and agrochemicals consume, and eliminate soil erosion.
Costly investments (e.g. stainless-steel bioreactor) are not required and inputs are inexpensive: light, water, fertilizers.
Plant production protocols exclude plastic pots, eliminating plastic residue generation.
