Innovating cell culture — one solution at a time
ELAREM™ is the platform technology behind PL BioScience's Human Platelet Lysate portfolio. It brings together solutions designed to support cell culture across different research and development needs — from routine expansion to more advanced 2D and 3D applications.
Rather than presenting one single product for every use case, the ELAREM™ portfolio offers differentiated options that help researchers identify the most suitable starting point. The product families vary in their intended application, performance characteristics and grade, while sharing the same platform foundation.

Before you move forward, let's make it clear
The essentials here. The longer answers live in the support centre.
Talk to an expertWhat is Human Platelet Lysate?
A xeno-free supplement derived from human platelets, used in place of fetal bovine serum to support cell growth and expansion.
Why consider an alternative to FBS?
Human origin, consistent growth-factor profile, and no animal-derived components — which removes a common hurdle on the path to clinical work.
Which product line fits my work?
Each ELAREM™ product line serves a different need — from routine cell culture to high-performance, GMP-grade and viral-reduced applications. All lines share the same platform, so moving between them does not mean re-validating a new technology.
How can I request a sample?
