Guaranteed Bacterial Protein Expression

Guaranteed Bacterial Protein Expression Service Package

Customers provide protein sequences (protein sequences are subject to pre-project analysis, and exclusions apply to membrane proteins, toxic proteins, and target proteins larger than 1,000 amino acids), and our core will deliver the protein with the amount and purity which were specified by the customers.  If we fail on either the amount or purity as specified, there is no charge to the customer whatsoever. 

Guaranteed Bacterial Protein Expression Service Package Starts at $2,813
(With a minimum of at least 5 mg of purified protein)

Service steps Service specification Timeline
Plasmid construction
  • Gene synthesis with codon optimization and sub-cloning
  • DNA sequencing confirmation
Timeline: 2-3 weeks
Protein expression test
  • Plasmid transformation
  • Exploration of expression condition, expression analysis and identification (SDS-PAGE and/or WB)
  • Small-scale expression in optimum condition and purification test
Timeline: 1 week
Large-scale fermentation and purification
  • Scale up protein expression using optimized conditions
  • Protein affinity purification, ion-exchange, and gel-filtration (to obtain the desired amounts and purity)
Timeline: 1-2 weeks for 1-10 L
 
 
  • Inclusion bodies denaturation & renaturation (free for most cases)
  • Tag-free protein (free for most cases), endotoxin removal (if required)
Timeline: 2-3 weeks for 10-20 L
Quality control
  • Purity analysis by using SDS-PAGE
  • Western-Blotting (for tagged protein)
  • BCA assay for quantitation
  • Protein delivery
Timeline: <1 week

All timelines are approximate. In most cases, we deliver within 4-6 weeks. However, optional steps might prolong the overall timeline slightly.
