Manufacturing, Production and Synthesis


Date Submitted:

05/08/2010


Urgency:

6-12 months


Industry:

Manufacturing, Production and Synthesis


Description:

Contract manufacturer needed to manufacture large amounts (kilograms) of protein. The protein is currently grown in bacterium and extracted using a his-tag/ Ni column system on a small research laboratory scale (milligrams). This is a plant/ algae type of protein that bacteria do not typically express (there are some exceptions). If you can manufacture this protein large-scale please provide some input on how this may work in your system/ fermentation organism, and how much the cost would be per kilogram and or batch? The his-protein-vector is already in place, but we are open to cheaper extraction processes. The protein is to be used in a chemical system, and does not need to be free of toxins or other traces that would be detrimental to food and pharma applications.
