Since 2006, RayBiotech has provided Custom Protein Services to produce recombinant proteins based on a customer's specifications. Our comprehensive service program covers every step of production, from gene cloning through protein purification. We can also perform downstream processing like protein desalting, lyophilization, vialing, and labeling.
RayBiotech offers bacterial or mammalian gene expression systems to serve a variety of research requirements.
TruExp™ is a state-of-the-art mammalian cell-based expression system developed by RayBiotech for producing recombinant proteins with native conformations and PTMs. TruExp™ is an excellent option for protein that have a high molecular weight or are difficult to express.
