The Protein Production Laboratory

The Protein Production laboratories are located on the second floor of our facility and consist of nine specialised areas, including two tissue culture suites, two growth and fermentation rooms, two wet lab areas, a core facility of cold and centrifugation rooms and a protein purification suite. The laboratories provide a complete service or selected specialised steps involved in the production of recombinant proteins.

In addition to the wide range of high quality instrumentation incorporated in the facility, there are highly trained staff who are responsible for the management of your projects and provision of technical assistance.

The laboratory has extensive experience in the production of difficult-to-express recombinant proteins, particularly secreted enzymes and the soluble domains of membrane anchored targets. We use a range of production systems including E. coli, K. phaffii, insect baculovirus and HEK293. In addition we offer a range of fermentation and cell culture scale-up options up to 50 litre.
