We work with you to plan your recombinant protein production projects and handle the production, purification, and characterization of complex product candidates. With long-standing experience across various microbial production organisms such as bacteria and yeasts, as well as cell-free and plant-based production platforms, we can produce not only simple proteins but also sophisticated, complexly folded proteins in high purity and sufficient quantities.
Our expertise and extensive equipment infrastructure enable us to provide complexly folded (post-translationally modified) proteins, as well as difficult-to-produce or hard-to-purify proteins, from the mid-gram to kilogram scale. Through collaborations with strain developers, we have access to high-performance strains of established production organisms that are already employed in industrial manufacturing facilities. This allows us to provide candidate proteins for toxicity and regulatory studies, for example in the development of new plant protection or plant-strengthening products, as well as food-grade proteins and peptides for the feed or food sector. Furthermore, this enables a rapid transfer of the production process to pilot or industrial scale, facilitating the development of market-ready products.
