Animal-derived insulin for research

Animal-derived insulin for research

Our animal-derived insulin for research offers a dependable and consistent source for studying insulin pathways, glucose metabolism, and related cellular mechanisms. Produced from high-quality bovine sources, this insulin closely mimics the biological activity of human insulin, making it ideal for laboratory investigations into metabolic responses. Designed for research use only, it provides scientists with the accuracy and reproducibility needed for advanced biochemical and physiological studies.

Bovine insulin is valued for its high structural similarity to human insulin, differing in only three amino acid residues. This high degree of conservation allows it to be effectively used in a variety of research models, including cell culture studies, diabetes research, and islet transplantation investigations. In cell culture applications, bovine insulin functions as a potent growth supplement at concentrations ranging from 1–10 µg/mL, supporting cell viability and proliferation under controlled experimental conditions.

Supplied at a concentration of 10 mg/mL in 25 mM HEPES buffer, our bovine insulin is available in convenient pack sizes of 1 mL, 2 mL, or 5 mL bottles. It should be stored at −20 °C and remains stable for up to two years from the date of manufacture. Synonyms for this product include bovine insulin and cell culture grade insulin, and it is intended strictly for research use only, not for human or veterinary applications.
