Our Technology

We developed our own unique expression system, ORFEUS, that allows us to produce plant-based, endotoxin-free recombinant growth factors in barley seeds.

ORFEUS

We have developed an unique expression system which uses barley grain as a vehicle for production of recombinant human and animal proteins.

This has resulted in an extensive portfolio of recombinant proteins for stem cell technology research, skincare, biopharma, and the cultured meat market.

Purification

Barley possesses unique characteristics, qualities that make it perfectly suited to our biotechnology needs – it is the perfect host for producing replicas of human growth factor.

Barley

We have developed an unique expression system that uses barley grain, grown in an eco-friendly greenhouse, as a vehicle for the production of recombinant human and animal growth factors. This has resulted in an extensive portfolio for stem cell technology research, skincare, biopharma, and the cell cultured meat industry.

Cultivation

Our barley-produced growth factors are uniquely pure. They are grown in abundant, inert volcanic pumice, in an ecologically-engineered greenhouse which has a negative carbon footprint.

We use natural geothermal energy and pure subterranean glacial water.
