Proyield Soy SE50MAF-UF is a protein hydrolysate derived from soy protein by enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymes used for digestion are from non-animal sources. Proyield Soy SE50MAF-UF has been ultrafiltered to reduce endotoxin.

Freeze drying is a potentially damaging process, especially to labile materials such as proteins or living organisms. Depending on the product type damage can occur at various stages of the process including freezing, drying and heating.

Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.

Complement your gene expression analysis with LOH studies. Confirm your SNP analysis results by sequencing. Combine MLPA genomic results with quantitative gene expression for the full story.

Sartopure PP2 Cartridges were optimized for the wide range of prefiltration.

Capto L is an affinity chromatography medium for the process-scale capture of a broad range of antibodies and antibody fragments.

The S.U.F. is engineered for optimal oxygen mass transfer, mixing, and temperature control, and performs comparably to traditional stainless steel systems. Using traditional, fundamental engineering principles, scale-up and process development work is streamlined – offering you cost savings and efficiency. 
 

A proven method for confirming protein purity and yield without the need for gel staining steps. Stain-free gels provide visual confirmation of protein purity and yield by gel electrophoresis in less than 30 minutes. Stain-free technology is perfect for drug discovery, drug development, and method development for preclinical research.
