Healthy Cells

Water is an essential element for cells and is the starting point of cellular agriculture.
Integral Culture focuses on the water used in cultivation and conducts research on it.

For example, we have discovered that changing the type of water alters the composition of cells. Thus, cells grown in different water qualities show differences, revealing unique characteristics. Using gas chromatography, we compared the composition of cells cultivated in different types of water.

It was found that the pattern of components contained in cells varies depending on the type of water used in the culture medium.

Nutrients

Life needs nutrients because cells need nutrients.

Culture media contains nutrients that cells need. Yet, it has been supplied for scientific research use only and not for consumption as food.

IntegriCulture has developed a food grade culture media to bring food grade cell culture to reality.

Cell culture

The building blocks may keep cells alive, but for cells to proliferate, additional serum components such as insulin and growth factors are often needed. Although, harvesting these components from live animals is very costly in many ways.

The CulNet® System developed by IntegriCulture, capable of producing the serum components by cell culture, illuminates the way forward.

The growth curve of duck-derived avian cells on CulNet cell-cultured serum indicates cell proliferation without the use of conventional animal serum

Scaled cell culture

The conventional method of 2-dimensional cell culture is not designed for scale.

We are scaling our CulNet® biomimicry system to make cellular agriculture a real option.
