At Alife Invention Biotech, we leverage state-of-the-art biotechnological methods and innovative tools to achieve our mission of genetic preservation, animal tissue banking, and the resurrection of endangered species. Our technological advancements are the backbone of our research and development efforts. Here’s a detailed overview of the key technologies we employ:
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is a cornerstone technology in our efforts to create viable embryos from preserved genetic material. Our work in this area includes:
Advanced Embryo Culture Systems
Utilizing high-precision incubators and culture media to support the development of embryos in a controlled environment.
Genetic Screening
Employing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to ensure the health and viability of embryos before implantation.
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
SCNT, or cloning, allows us to produce genetically identical embryos from somatic cells. This technology involves:
Cell Reprogramming
Reprogramming somatic cells to a pluripotent state before transferring their nuclei into enucleated eggs.
Embryo Cultivation
Cultivating cloned embryos under optimal conditions to ensure their development and readiness for implantation.
Animal Cell Culture
Our expertise in animal cell culture supports a variety of research applications, including Cell Line Development: Establishing and maintaining cell lines from endangered species for genetic studies and conservation efforts.
Conservation Support
By maintaining cell lines from endagered species, we contribute to global efforts in conserving biodiversity. Our work ensures that even if a species becomes extinct in the wild, its genetic material remains available for future revival efforts
Research Advancements
Our cultured cell lines provide a platform for various scientific research endeavours, including drug ttesting, gene expression studies, and understanding cellular mechanisms.
Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is essential for the long-term storage of genetic material and tissues. Our advancements in this field include:
Vitrification
Rapidly freezing cells and tissues to prevent ice crystal formation, maintaining their integrity and functionality.
Cryoprotectants
Developing and optimizing cryoprotectant solutions that enhance cell survival during the freezing and thawing processes.
Genomic Sequencing and Analysis
We use advanced genomic technologies to analyze and preserve the genetic diversity of endangered species.
This includes:
Whole Genome Sequencing
Mapping the entire genetic code of species to understand their genetic makeup and identify key traits for conservation.
Bioinformatics
Applying computational tools to analyze large genomic datasets, helping us make informed decisions about conservation strategies.
