Custom Recombinant Protein Purification
At Bio-Synthesis, we custom design protein purification strategies for each individual protein to ensure a high recovery rate. This enables us to purify most untagged recombinant proteins within three steps: 1. Capture, 2. Intermediate-step, 3. Polish. For tagged proteins, our two-step protein purification method can achieve greater than 95% purity in most cases.
- Multiple protein purification systems in a temperature controlled environment
- Extensive collection of chromatography media
- Innovative configurations of chromatography columns custom tailored to each protein
- Vigorous quality assurance programs to ensure the required quality and reproducibility
- Production capacity of up to tens of grams
- Greater than 98% purity

Isotope Labeling (E. coli system only)
Uniform isotope labeling is a key tool for NMR studies on recombinant proteins and their ligand interactions for pharmaceutical interest. A minimal medium is required for specific labeling in
E. coli systems in order to control the nutrients found in the broth. However, a typical minimal medium (such as M9) cannot support the same level of growth as a richer medium and thus limits the amount of protein produced by limiting the cell density of the culture. This constraint results in a high cost for isotope labeling. With years of experience in bacterial culture and protein expression, our scientists at Bio-Synthesis have developed a fortified minimal medium which supports growth and protein expression that is comparable to the standard medium. This proprietary medium drastically lowers cost, providing a large amount of recombinant protein uniformly labeled with a stable isotope. We provide stable isotope labeling services in our E. coli expression system with 15N, 13C.
Protein Refolding (E. coli system only)
Production of foreign proteins in E. coli may result in the formation of protein aggregates, more commonly known as inclusion bodies. Specific empirical conditions are required to make inclusion bodies soluble and further refold denatured proteins. At Bio-Synthesis, our scientists devised a proprietary refolding system that is comprised of a variety of refolding buffers optimized with various parameters. Using this optimized system, we have successfully refolded more than 300 proteins, which has earned us a spot as a leader in the field.
Bio-Synthesis protein refolding services include the following steps:
- Protein expression and inclusion body preparation (optional)
- Solubilize inclusion body to maximum monomer status
- Small-scale refolding experiments to determine the best refolding conditions by activity assay
- Small-scale refolding
- Large scale refolding (optional)
Process Development
Our process development ensures that protein production is scalable, reproducible, and cost effective. It is furthermore effective in bridging the gap between small and large-scale production. Our process is optimized to significantly improve the recovery rate and the bioactivity of your recombinant Proteins.
