Protein extraction tie-up
Collaborative effort produces platform for automating the tedious steps associated with manual sample preparation, screening, and purification for recombinant proteins
Tecan and EMD Biosciences have announced an agreement to co-market a series of automated solutions for medium-to-high throughput protein extraction, screening, and purification The collaborative effort between Tecan and EMD Biosciences has produced a high-performance platform for automating the tedious, time-consuming steps traditionally associated with manual methods of sample preparation, screening, and purification for recombinant proteins

Combined with Novagen proprietary reagent kits, Tecan's Genesis and Freedom Evo workstations afford users a turn-key, high-throughput solution for protein purification using His.Tag and GST.Tag technologies.
As part of the collaboration, Tecan and EMD Biosciences have created an integrated technical applications team, thereby ensuring a seamless, comprehensive level of post-sale technical support and streamlined integration into existing laboratory workflows.
The validated protocols will enable users to purify proteins in 96-well microplate format with either vacuum filtration or magnetic bead separation methods.
Using the integrated Tecan Genios Plus microplate reader, recombinant protein expression and solubility screening assays may also be conducted.
The Novagen RoboPop system is uniquely suited for automated protein purification because it eliminates the need for centrifugation and enables the entire process from cell growth through purification to be performed in one deep-well plate.
