FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific

The Protein Professionals

BioCat's partner Shenandoah, founded in 2006 and since Jan 2023 fully integrated into FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific, Inc, is specialized in the manufacturing of recombinant human, mouse and rat proteins in E. coli. The bioactive cytokines, chemokines and growth factors provided are used in many research areas such as cancer, stem cell biology, immunology and developmental biology.

Shenandoah is committed to superior quality and 100% transparency. A step-by-step quality control approach including cell-based assays to assess the biological activity of the proteins ensures Shenandoah's outstanding product quality.

Custom protein expression, bulk (milligrams to grams) protein production and inclusion body protein folding and purification services are also offered through BioCat.

To support researchers concerned about the ever-present risk of contaminating human proteins with trace growth factors from FBS and animal-derived ingredients typically used in standard recombinant protein production techniques, Shenandoah has developed animal-free protein products. These proteins are provided carrier-free. No materials of animal or human origin were used to manufacture these proteins and no viral testing is done.

• Bioactive and highly pure recombinant proteins
• Biological activity tested using cell-based assays
• Rigorous quality control and assurance
• Extensive documentation
