23 years ago, GROWCELLS revolutionized small-batch manufacturing of sterile, certified nuclease-free, endotoxin-free, aqueous solutions through filtration and tandem steam sterilization.

Our goal was to provide molecular biologists with ultimate convenience, innovation, reliability, and cost-effective solutions for their bench work. We prioritized eliminating contamination risks, including nucleases, proteases, microbes, pyrogens, and any other substances that could compromise experimental integrity and reproducibility.

Despite rigorous precautions, the most common and often overlooked contaminant was the water itself. GROWCELLS addressed this by manufacturing RNase-Free Water, both with and without DEPC treatment. Our validated process ensures that the water is free from any byproducts of DEPC breakdown. Through a verified and validated steam sterilization (autoclaving) process, we remove all carbon dioxide and ethanol—byproducts of DEPC treatment. The polycarbonate bottles we specially designed for steam sterilization allowed us to produce a wide range of products that have become essential in life science research and manufacturing.

This achievement was made possible by our sister company, TriForest Labware, which developed a novel alternative to glass bottles—once the standard for microbial media manufacturing. We created a plastic bottle using the same resin employed in the space shuttle, known for its heat resistance, inertness, and shatterproof qualities. These autoclavable, non-leaching, virtually unbreakable, and crystal-clear bottles allowed us to establish a process that transformed the production of sterile lab reagents.
