Depending on the process and who provides the statistics, downstream processing accounts for between 50–80% of the cost of producing biotech drugs. Whatever the exact number, protein purification ...

Penn State chemical engineers have demonstrated proof of concept for a new protein purification process that combines ultrafiltration's high throughput with high specificity achievable through ...

Effective and efficient protein purification processes are essential in drug discovery and development. Affinity fusion tags are commonly used in protein purification due to their ability to enable ...

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 ...

Protein purification is often deceptively complex. While protocols may appear straightforward, researchers often encounter aggregation, loss of activity, or inconsistent results. A well-planned ...

For the novice protein purifier, finding a place to start might seem overwhelming, but fortunately the process can be approached systematically. Andrew Mitchell, technical consultant for Amersham ...

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 ...

Creating analytical tools that support the advancement of knowledge can often come about through the integration of existing information and techniques, theoretical and practical, directed toward a ...
