Product news

Activotec has announced the availability of new applications data that demonstrates why the Activo-P11 Peptide Synthesizer is the peptide synthesizer of choice for a growing number of leading laboratories worldwide.

The Activo-P11 Peptide Synthesizer is an affordable instrument for synthesis of very high quality peptides. Designed by chemists for chemists, the fully automated Activo-P11 is very easy to use. The Activo-P11 offers the versatility to synthesize peptides of any length in the 0.1 - 2 mmoles scale in t-Boc or F-moc chemistry, using any kind of activation.

Chris Littlewood, Chief Executive of Activotec, commented "Since its launch in 2007 - market reaction to the Activo-P11 has been extremely positive, installations in peptide laboratories worldwide have exceeded even our most optimistic expectations". He added "We are the only European company with international service and support teams that are exclusively focused on peptide synthesis instrumentation and services. This enables Activotec to be uniquely positioned to provide customers with informed technical assistance enabling them to get the most from their peptide synthesizer."

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. 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. Find the best protein purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Protein CrystallographyProtein crystallization is the process of crystallizing purified proteins for 3D structure analysis by x-ray crystallography. The main methods of protein crystallization include sitting drop, hanging drop and microbatch. It is important to control parameters such as pH, temperature and concentration. Following crystallization, detectors and software are used for data collection and analysis.
