Cultivated Meat
CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
Cell cultivated meat presents an exciting opportunity for the world to produce foods in a sustainable and ethical manner. However, regulators have indicated that this emerging technology should apply characterization and release testing strategies which are aligned with biopharmaceuticals.
Traditional cell-line characterization including in-process testing and release strategies are not well aligned in terms of costs, timelines, and the use of animal models within the cultivated meat sector. Engineered meat developers are therefore seeking alternative characterization and testing strategies which better align with their requirements, especially in establishing ethical and rapid alternatives.

OUR EXPERTISE
PathoQuest is a leader in the provision of alternative testing and characterization methods for GMP biopharmaceutical applications. We are delighted to be working alongside the leading companies in the emerging cultivated meat sector, applying our broad industry knowledge to the specific challenges of cultivated meat.
PathoQuest has demonstrated the utility and acceptance of NGS as a replacement to animal-based testing, especially in the characterization of cell banks, as demonstrated by our active participation in key industry interest groups, associations and consortia. We are also leading the industry in our peer-reviewed publications on the use of NGS as an alternative to animal models. This drive to replace animal testing with better, more ethical alternatives like NGS aligns with developers of cultivated meat and their mission for ethical meat alternatives.
CHALLENGES SOLVED
The testing requirements for cultivated meat are still being defined, and PathoQuest is helping the industry by addressing these key concerns:
- Identifying the best cell lines to take forward into the manufacturing process, with MCB characterization
- Comprehensive understanding of cellular characteristics such as genetic stability through the manufacturing process
- Mitigating risk with screening of raw materials such as serum replacements
- Rapid in-process and final lot release testing of manufactured batches
- Removing animals from a testing and characterization strategy, further underlining the ethical advantages of cultivated meat
