OVERCOMING PURIFICATION CHALLENGES
Conquering Bottlenecks to Achieve Pure Protein
August 20-21, 2012
Protein Purification has reached a plateau where favored steps, affinity tags, kits and protocols are widely accepted and used. Yet challenges remain, especially for novel and difficult proteins, such as membrane proteins. While cell culture processes have been refined to reach higher densities, greater demands are placed on purification to keep up with the booming biologics industry. High throughput purification provides solutions leading to greater efficiencies while also posing additional challenges.
Emerging technologies present unrealized potential for monitoring processes, analyzing conditions, and identifying optimal strategies. Automation and robotics are revolutionizing protein industrialization. This meeting will explore purification challenges and how to overcome those challenges drawing on new technologies and innovative methods. Please join the discussion of next-generation strategies and technologies in the quest for purified proteins.
