Nu-Tek BioSciences, a leading supplier of animal-free peptones and specialty yeast extracts, will participate in the 75th Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) Annual Meeting, taking place from July 27-30, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. The company will present its range of products designed for industrial fermentation applications.
Based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Nu-Tek BioSciences focuses on animal-free ingredients used in cell culture and microbial fermentation, supporting critical applications across the biotechnology sector. Their product portfolio includes yeast extracts, soy peptones, pea peptones, wheat hydrolysates, and plant-based cell culture media.
Growing need for plant-based media
Nu-Tek BioSciences recognizes the growing demand for plant-based, animal-free cell culture media that meet regulatory standards and quality audits. Leveraging extensive experience in custom manufacturing plant-based cell nutrients, the company has begun developing a line of animal-free cell culture media designed to deliver high-quality, sustainable alternatives. Its products can also be used as supplementary ingredients in existing formulations to reduce costs while maintaining or improving performance.
Dedication to animal-free production
Nu-Tek’s portfolio includes peptones and yeast extracts that are manufactured in a facility exclusively dedicated to animal-free production. This ensures the integrity and consistency of its products while avoiding potential risks associated with animal-derived components. In addition, some of the company’s products carry Halal and Kosher certifications, which are increasingly important for customers seeking to meet specific regulatory and ethical standards across diverse global markets.
Attendees at the conference will have the opportunity to learn about Nu-Tek’s manufacturing capabilities and how its products can optimize fermentation processes.
Chris Wiedel, Chief Business Officer at Nu-Tek BioSciences, expressed his company’s eagerness to engage with industry professionals during the event. “We are excited to connect with industry leaders and innovators at SIMB 2025. Our 100% animal-free peptones and specialty yeast extracts, including those with Halal and Kosher certifications, represent our commitment to providing high-quality, reliable, and compliant solutions for industrial fermentation.” Wiedel stated.
