What we do

A regulated ex situ platform for traceable venom lots.

Serpentarium Caribe is building the first regulated ex-situ venom production platform in the Colombian Caribbean. Every specimen is legally sourced and individually traceable; every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis and full chain-of-custody documentation, designed to meet international standards including CITES and the Nagoya Protocol / ABS.

Species & Science

Two Caribbean species with documented bioactive profiles.

Bothrops asper specimen in controlled ex situ vivarium.

Bothrops asper

  • Colombian Caribbean coastal populations.
  • Proteomic profile distinct from the Central American populations most commonly used.
  • Rich source of disintegrins and SVMP-derived peptide families.
  • PLA2 diversity characterized in Calvete et al., 2010 & 2020.
Crotalus durissus cumanensis specimen in controlled ex situ vivarium, rattle visible.

Crotalus durissus cumanensis

  • Caribbean rattlesnake endemic to northern Colombia.
  • Distinct from Brazilian and Venezuelan populations.
  • Crotoxin complex and bradykinin-potentiating peptides documented in the literature.
  • Lot-level documentation planned for partner research and reference material.

Regulatory model

Compliance built before material transfer.

Sterile peptide extraction workstation inside the regulated facility.
01

Environmental permitting

Colombian environmental permitting pathway underway with the relevant authority.

02

ABS / Nagoya

Biodiversity access and benefit-sharing documentation aligned with Colombia's ABS framework.

03

CITES traceability

Specimen-level traceability and chain of custody from collection through lyophilization.

04

Lot documentation

Lot-level Certificate of Analysis, including proteomic profile and activity documentation.

No material transfer will occur before Colombian environmental, biodiversity-access and export approvals are in place.

Who it's for

Discovery partnerships · Supply agreements · Research access.

Antivenom producers

Documented immunization substrate from B. asper and C. d. cumanensis, with geographic provenance and lot-level consistency.

Diagnostics & research
