Custom recombinant proteins: powering your new product development

Custom recombinant proteins: powering your new product development

The production of custom recombinant proteins has become an essential process for various industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals to therapeutics and biotechnology.  

These proteins, produced through recombinant DNA technology, offer many advantages in quality, efficiency, and customization. 

Below, we’re exploring the benefits of custom recombinant protein development, as well as diving into the innovative potential realized by our own CrisBio® platform.  

 

The significance of custom recombinant protein development 

Custom recombinant proteins are essential tools in modern biotechnology. They are produced when the DNA sequence encoding the protein of interest is inserted into a host cell, which then creates – or ‘expresses’ – the protein.  

This method helps to produce a wide range of proteins, including enzymes, growth factors, and therapeutic proteins such as human insulin.  

The ability to produce proteins in a controlled environment ensures: 

  1. Consistency 
  2. Scalability 
  3. Cost-effective production 

Precision and consistency

The precision and consistency offered by custom recombinant proteins are unparalleled. Since recombinant proteins are produced using specific DNA sequences, they are identical in every batch. This ensures the uniformity crucial for applications that require high precision, such as drug development and diagnostic testing.  

Scalability

The scalability of recombinant protein production is a significant advantage. Once a proof of concept is established, production can be scaled up to meet industrial and commercial demands, an essential factor for addressing the growing needs of various sectors. 

Cost-effective production

Cost-effectiveness is another critical advantage of custom recombinant proteins.  

The use of advanced expression systems and host cells can significantly reduce production costs, allowing large quantities to be produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.  

 

What are the applications of custom recombinant proteins? 

Custom recombinant proteins have a wide range of applications across various industries. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are crucial for producing therapeutic proteins like human insulin and developing new drugs.  

High-quality recombinant proteins are also used in diagnostic tests to ensure both accuracy and reliability. In academic and industrial research, these proteins are essential tools for studying biological processes and developing new technologies.
