Chongqing - Tianjin Ancelbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a leading player in the field of plant cell materials, has recently signed an agreement with the Western (Chongqing) Science City to establish the Ancelbio Plant Cell Engineering Center and Industrialization Platform Project.
The project aims to construct a national-level plant cell resource repository and provide raw material security for pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics.
"The project, now established in the Western (Chongqing) Science City, is led by Professor Yao Xinsheng, a pharmaceutical educator and a scholar in traditional Chinese medicine and natural products chemistry," said the relevant person in charge of Tianjin Ancelbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd. "The project encompasses the Plant Cell Engineering Center and a 100,000-liter Plant Cell Large-scale Industrialization Platform."
The first phase of the Plant Cell Engineering Center comprises four sections, including the plant cell resource repository, the plant cell amplification cultivation platform, the plant cell industrialization platform, and a public support platform.

Tianjin Ancelbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd., renowned for its raw plant cell materials expertise, boasts proprietary intellectual property and an internationally pioneering plant cell large-scale cultivation platform.
The company has achieved breakthroughs in challenging areas, industrial-scale production of plant cells, and its variety diversification, building an expandable plant cell resource library. The library contains many species of high economic value, capable of offering customers cost-effective, standardized, and customizable plant cell materials.
A notable example is the Tian Shan Snow Lotus, often called the "Miracle Flower of the High Cold Mountains." Traditional Chinese medicine attributes qualities of kidney warming, wind and dampness dispelling, and blood circulation enhancement to this rare plant.
However, Snow Lotus is a nationally protected wild species, facing difficulties in cultivation due to slow growth and low survival rates. Employing the company's plant cell cultivation technology makes it possible to produce Snow Lotus extracts, addressing the challenge of sustainable resource supply.
According to Tianjin Ancelbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd., the company's product line is primarily centered around high-value plant cells like Ginseng and Alpine Saussurea.
The company possesses an array of 28 sterile seedlings and 53 cell production lines. Their proprietary bioreactors range from 1-liter, 5-liter, to 1000-liter modular amplification systems, enabling flexible and scalable production of target cells based on market demands.
