Expression Optimisation

Select the right expression platform for the functionality of the recombinant protein.

PEF has extensive experience and capabilities in using Escherichia coli, yeast, baculovirus/insect cell, mammalian cell and cell-free in vitro platform technologies to produce a wide range of proteins. Parallel screening of expression parameters at the start of the project delivers high-value data in a short timeframe that will enhance the success of the protein production.

Parallel expression optimisation

Cost-effective and rapid high-throughput screen to achieve optimal protein expression and protein solubility

Multiple expression platforms

Optimal expression platform for heterologous production of protein of interest with desired functionality

Expression technologies

Multiple technologies within each expression platform to maximise protein production
