Reagenics plant cells in bioreactors. The cells can be used for food products, dyes, vitamins and food additives.
Saffron stem cells grown in the Reagenics bioreactor. One kilo of saffron threads come from 180,000 flowers and is presently sold for $5,000-$10,000. One kilo of saffron stem cells can be grown in a 50-liter reactor in one week. (photo credit: MICHAEL KAGAN)
