Sartorius Growth Factors & Cytokines Collection
146 productsWelcome to your go‑to hub for Sartorius growth factors and cytokines. Here, you’ll find animal‑free, recombinant proteins engineered to support every stage of your journey—from early research to clinical-grade cell therapy. Each product delivers consistency, regulatory compliance, and pure bioactivity to help you drive your experiments forward with confidence.
What Are Growth Factors & Cytokines?
Let’s begin by clarifying what these molecules do. Growth factors are critical signals that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. Cytokines, on the other hand, orchestrate immune functions and intercellular communication—crucial for maintaining physiological relevance during your in vitro studies. Together, they enable you to replicate key aspects of the in vivo environment, ensuring that your experimental models are both robust and predictive.

Applications Across Research & Cell Therapy
You’ve grasped what these proteins are—now let’s explore how they support your work. These growth factors and cytokines serve a wide spectrum of applications across basic science, translational research, and clinical manufacturing:
Application Area | Typical Use Case |
---|---|
Stem Cell Expansion & Differentiation | iPSC, ESC, MSC proliferation and lineage commitment |
Immune Cell Activation | Ex vivo expansion of CAR T, TCR T, NK, Tregs, CIK cells |
3D Culture & Organoid Development | Support systems like R‑spondin 1/3, Noggin, Activin A |
Inflammation & Immunology Models | Simulate immune responses using IL‑6, IL‑1β, TNF‑α, IFN‑γ |
ATMP Manufacturing & Cell Therapy | Using GMP‑grade cytokines for clinical‑level process control |
These applications build on a theoretical foundation by illustrating the real impact your work can deliver—from differentiation of stem cells to activation of immune cells in translational and therapeutic contexts.
Sartorius Product Grades & Regulatory Support
You might wonder which grade fits your needs best. Sartorius provides three tiers to support seamless progression from research to clinical use:
Grade | Intended Use | Quality & Regulatory Features |
---|---|---|
RUO | Research Use Only | High purity, low endotoxin, animal‑component‑free; ideal for foundational research |
Preclinical | Translation & Scale‑up | Meets USP <1043>, Ph. Eur. 5.2.12; animal‑free and fully scalable toward GMP |
GMP | Clinical Manufacturing | Comprehensive documentation, DMF (for some), consistent lots, and regulatory support |
You can easily transition between grades without reformulating your workflow, ensuring that your process remains reproducible from bench to bedside.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the difference between RUO and GMP grade?
A: RUO is meant for early-stage research and has basic purity and documentation. GMP-grade comes with full regulatory compliance, applicable documentation, and reproducibility needed for clinical manufacturing.
Q: Are these products xeno‑free?
A: Yes—all Sartorius growth factors and cytokines are animal‑derived component‑free (ADCF), ensuring compatibility with xeno-free and serum-free systems.
Q: Can I seamlessly scale up from Preclinical to GMP?
A: Absolutely. Preclinical formulations follow GMP guidelines and can be transferred to GMP-grade production with minimal process adaptation.
Q: Do you offer technical support and regulatory documentation?
A: Yes—Sartorius provides expert support, Certificates of Analysis (CoA), and, for some products, Drug Master Files (DMFs) to streamline your validation and regulatory submission efforts.
