Tedious, time-consuming, exasperating: Those are perhaps the three words that researchers use most commonly to describe protein purification. Proteins, and their little sisters the peptides, are among ...

There are a wide variety of protein-based drugs that are used to treat various serious conditions. Insulin is perhaps the most well-known example, which is used for life-saving treatments for diabetes ...

Vortex fluidic devices (VFDs) used with immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) have provided an effective, albeit cumbersome, way to separate His-tagged proteins. Researchers recently ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

Conventionally, chromatography is used for protein purification, which is extremely expensive. Alternatively, the protein crystallization method could be used to determine protein structure, but this ...

One of the most expensive steps in manufacturing protein drugs such as antibodies or insulin is the purification step: isolating the protein from the bioreactor used to produce it. This step can ...

Bed-height Optimization Can Reduce Cost and Increase Speed of Production Affinity chromatography is potentially the most selective method for protein purification and is often included as a primary ...

Scientists can choose from many protein purification protocols, but some methods fail to produce sufficient sample purity. By selecting the right chromatography method, researchers can optimize the ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...

In academic and industrial protein research, speed, accuracy, and accessibility are essential. After purifying proteins using ...
