About Serum Therapeutics Inc.
A Versatile Model System
Galleria mellonella insect larvae, or waxworms, are an essential tool for infectious disease researchers who demand a low-cost, low-barrier, ethical and reliable alternative to rodent models. G. mellonella provide a particularly well suited model system for studying pathogenesis, drug discovery, innate immunity, and toxicity, without the need for specialized facilities or equipment. Whether looking to prioritize your novel anti-infective molecules for further studies, or generating insights into the biology of your favorite microbe, G. mellonella has quickly become the model of choice for scientists globally.
Made by Scientists, for Scientists
Serum Therapeutics Inc. was founded to address the lack of consistency and reproducibility seen with larvae from conventional suppliers. As scientists, we recognize the importance of having experimental results you can trust. Our goal is to make failed experiments due to sickly larvae a thing of the past, saving you both time and money. Larvae from Serum Therapeutics Inc. are reared under temperature controlled conditions with a specially formulated diet that delivers consistent high-quality larvae to meet your research needs.
