Product news

Bioneer is pleased to introduce the ExiProgen™ the first automated recombinant protein synthesis/ purification system in the world.Bioneer’s ExiProgen™ system is a breakthrough in synthetic biology that allows for rapid, small-scale in vitro synthesis and purification of 1 to 16 different proteins per run.

System automation allows for a simple template-DNA-input, purified-protein-output workflow in approximately 6 hours.

The E. coli- based transcription/translation system is designed to maximize efficiency and yield. Purification of the expressed protein is carried out by His-tag purification using Bioneer’s spherical nickel-magnetic nanoparticles. The net result is 1-16 samples of up to 100 ug of > 90% pure protein(s).

ExiProgen™, like its sister instrument the ExiPrep™ 16 Plus, can also perform RNA and DNA extractions from a variety of samples making it one of the most versatile instruments on the market today.

ExiProgen™ Automated Protein Synthesis and Nucleic Acid Extraction System

Bioneer

ExiProgen™ system is a breakthrough in synthetic biology that allows for rapid, small-scale in vitro synthesis and purification of up to 16 different proteins per run. System automation allows for a simple template-DNA-input, purified-protein-output workflow in approximately 6 hours. The E.coli- based transcription/translation system is designed to maximize efficiency and yield by taking advantage of instrument features including a precision-temperature-controlled heating block, which consistently maintains optimal synthesis conditions. Purification of the expressed protein is carried out by His-tag purification using Bioneer’s nickel-magnetic beads. The net result is up to 100 ug of >90% pure protein(s), which is kept at 4 °C on the built-in cooling block after purification is complete. The system provides several great advantages to traditional protein expression methods, including simultaneous expression of multiple species of proteins, and the ability to express proteins that would otherwise cause cellular toxicity in cell-based expression methods. The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) control included within the kit ensures that the run was successful, and with an available system-optimized vector, performance can be increased even further. ExiProgen™ can also purify nucleic acids from a variety of sample types, making it one of the most versatile systems available.

DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
