Peptides: the most versatile bioingredient for cell growth.

Peptones are fundamental bioingredients in a large number of culture media used for cell growth and the expression of proteins of interest. These polypeptides are obtained from the hydrolysis of plant or animal proteins and constitute the main source of nitrogen and essential nutrients for cell growth. 

Peptones can be used as an ingredient in a medium and even as a main ingredient in the cultivation of a multitude of microorganisms, both in traditional microbiology applications and in the most novel processes within the area of fermentations and bioproduction. They ensure efficient growth and optimal yield in the production of biomolecules of interest. 

Likewise, they have proven to be a fundamental component in the composition of cell culture media, achieving great results for different cell lines such as CHO, HEK, and BHK2, and being an effective alternative to animal-derived media. 

Hispanagar distributes peptones for both traditional microbiology and fermentations and cell culture. Within these latter categories, we offer our Endolow peptone line, characterized by its low level of endotoxins, which improve cell density and protein production in cultures of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
