On September 5, 2017 Bio-Techne proudly announced its acquisition of Trevigen, Inc. For over 25 years, Trevigen has developed innovative tools for generating and analyzing physiologic cell culture models, such as organoids, tumorspheres, and stem cell-derived cellular systems. These models are being used to make critical advancements in drug discovery, toxicology, regenerative medicine, cell therapy, and cancer research. With strong brands like the CultrexTM Basement Membrane Matrix and the CometAssayTM for cell damage, the Trevigen product portfolio is an important addition to Bio-Techne. It solidifies our ability to offer full workflow solutions to customers using 2D and 3D culture models to investigate cell behavior and cytotoxic events.
In the sections below, we outline where you can find the Trevigen products within the Bio-Techne website and how synergies in the Bio-Techne and Trevigen portfolio will benefit scientists across a wide range of research areas.
Stem Cell Research
Cell culture matrix substrates are used to expand, maintain, and differentiate pluripotent stem cells in vitro. CultrexTM Basement Membrane Matrix is routinely incorporated into the stem cell culture workflow of the research and development teams at Bio-Techne. It is also a featured component in many of our StemXVivoTM Differentiation Kits and stem cell expansion and differentiation protocols. We have utilized the Cultrex portfolio because we believe in the quality and consistency that it provides for our stem cells. Having the full Trevigen portfolio integrated with Bio-Techne allows us to provide a broader offering of high quality culture reagents to the stem cell community.
