Coronavirus Prevention Research COVID-19 continues to spread around the world and every day we are seeing new research publications about advancements toward a treatment. A new publication in Cell cites our VSV-M antibody in a study looking at how the virus enters cells and how the process can be blocked. We offer a variety of other reagents that may be useful in studying coronavirus, including coronavirus antibodies and a Delta-G-VSV pseudotyping system.

Partnership with The Good Food Institute Recently, we announced our collaboration with The Good Food Institute to facilitate access to cell lines for developing sustainable meat and seafood. The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit organization working to make clean meat and seafood a reality. With our new partnership, we hope to advance research in these areas by offering easily available terrestrial meat and aquatic cell lines through our online reagents catalog. We were excited to see this news covered in various outlets including Boston Business Journal, New Food and Lab Worldwide.
Greater Good for the Community Part of our mission is to create access to Reagents for the Greater Good. With the greater good in mind, we have announced some recent company initiatives, including being more environmentally responsible and supporting gender equality. As we work toward going green, we have implemented eco-friendly, recyclable packaging for our domestic shipments. Recently, Kerafast was also an original signer of the 100% Talent Company, a pledge in Boston to work toward closing the gender gap in wages.
