Isolation & expansion of cells for cultivated meat research
 | Cellular agriculture and cultivated meat begin with the careful isolation and expansion of animal cells. Thermo Fisher Scientific has the media, supplements, and tools to help turn a single cell into millions of identical copies. |
Transfection & Reprogramming in cultivated meat research
 | Although nature can provide a great start, sometimes reprogramming may help improve your process. Thermo Fisher Scientific has many tools, kits, and reagents to enable high-efficiency transfection and reprogramming of your critical cells for cultivated meat applications. |
Differentiation of cells for the research of cultivated meat
 | Once your cells have reached a critical mass, it is time to drive them to their terminal state. Gibco media, proteins, and extracellular matrices can help your cells reach their potential. |
Harvest cells used in cultivated meat research
 | Harvesting cells is a delicate process that requires great care to ensure minimal cells are lost in the process. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a selection of dissociation reagents, surfactants, and buffers to support your sensitive cells. |
Analyze cells for use in cultivated meat research
 | Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a wide array of analytical tools and reagents to help understand and solve the complex biological questions underlying cultivated meat development. |

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about cultivated meat research
What is cellular agriculture?
Cellular agriculture is the process by which a cell or a tissue derived from a living animal is used to culture products that mimic the physical texture and the nutritional profile of conventional animal products. Some examples of how this technology has been applied include the production of meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, and leather.
What is cultured meat?
Cultured meat is the production of meat made by culturing animal cells in a bioreactor. It will one day allow for the consumption of meat without the need for animal slaughter.
How is cultured meat made?
Cultured meat is made by taking a small biopsy of cells from livestock. These cells are isolated and cultured in laboratory conditions to produce a biomass of muscle and/or fat cells that can be mixed with filler produce a genuine meat product for consumption.
What is the difference between cultivated meat, cultured meat and clean meat?
There are many names for the latest sustainable food alternative. Clean meat. Cell-based meat. Cultivated meat. Cultured meat. Lab-grown meat. These terms are synonymous and reference a form of cellular agriculture where meat is produced through the culturing of animal cells.
