Problem
Traditional mammalian-derived reagents used in biomedical research, diagnostics, and clinical applications carry the risk of pathogen and prion contamination, while also raising ethical concerns related to animal welfare. Furthermore, reliance on mammalian sources can lead to supply chain instability due to disease outbreaks or market fluctuations.
Solution
Salmonics provides a sustainable and ethical alternative by manufacturing high-quality plasma proteins and reagents derived from farmed salmon. By upcycling fish blood, a byproduct of the aquaculture industry, Salmonics offers a range of products including blocking buffers, fish plasma, fish serum, thrombin, and fibrinogen. These fish-derived products eliminate the risk of mammalian pathogen transfer, ensure a stable and reliable supply chain, and support environmentally responsible research practices. Salmonics' products demonstrate comparable or superior performance compared to mammalian-based alternatives, making them suitable for diverse applications in biomedical research, diagnostics, and clinical settings.
Target Audience
Salmonics serves researchers, diagnostic laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies seeking sustainable, ethical, and high-performance alternatives to traditional mammalian-derived reagents.
