Moving cell health forward
PL BioScience develops and provides Human Platelet Lysate solutions that support cell culture from research to therapeutic development.
Advancing science starts with better foundations
PL BioScience is a science-driven biotechnology company specialised in Human Platelet Lysate. With the ELAREM™ platform, we provide superior solutions for your cells — helping researchers and developers move from initial research towards therapeutic applications.
Where it started
Dr. Hatim Hemeda achieves breakthrough results in stem cell research using a self-produced human platelet concentrate — not yet commercially available anywhere.
PL BioScience is founded as a spin-off of RWTH Aachen University to bring a patent-protected, scalable production process to market.
PL BioScience offers standardised, reproducible Human Platelet Lysates under the ELAREM™ brand — replacing animal serum in cell culture at scale.
We make progress easier to build on
Our central scientific competence, developed and refined for consistent cell culture performance.
Products for varying research and development requirements — from academic labs to GMP-oriented development.
Defined, practical solutions that give researchers confidence in every batch and step.
A long-term view spanning early research through to therapeutic development.
The people behind PL BioScience
His stem cell research led to the platelet lysate process behind ELAREM™ — and to the company built around it in 2015.
