Process development in the novel and emerging field of protein crystallization for downstream processing is our core expertise.
The crystallization of proteins is a technique commonly used only for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of a protein. But in the crystalline state, proteins are usually more stable than dissolved and contain only low levels of impurities. Therefore, a number of possible applications for protein crystallization arise in an industrial downstream process. For example, the method might be beneficially used for purification, formulation or the stabilization of protein storage.
