Cape Biologix

Cape Biologix is a plant-based biotechnology manufacturer in Ndabeni, Cape Town, and a subsidiary of Cape Bio Pharms. It makes plant-made recombinant proteins, including antibodies and antigens for research and diagnostic use, and it was started in 2020 to contribute to global biosecurity.

Its transient plant-based expression platform, which the company calls PtX, turns plants into what it describes as mini bioreactors. The company says the platform is faster, more flexible, more scalable and more sustainable than traditional expression systems, and it uses it to help improve the health and well-being of people and animals.

The company holds an ISO 13485 certificate, and it offers a first free sample of its antibodies and antigens. It suits laboratories and research teams that need plant-made proteins.
