At Artbiochem S.L. we are experts in the recovery of biomolecules from plants. We have therefore designed an R & D service for companies and organizations that need to purify a protein or enzyme but lack in-house skills or equipment.

We offer* Investigation, development and optimization of protein purifications at laboratory and pilot scales. Methods such as column chromatography (FPLC), precipitation, filtration, centrifugation, activated earths and freeze-drying. View Image. Protein stability determinations due to temperature, time, pH, etc. Characterization of enzyme substrate specificity (using UV-visible absorption detection). Enzyme activity profiles with temperature and pH. Determination of kinetic parameters (KM, kcat, etc) of enzymes with substrates. Characterization of enzyme inhibition (type, kinetics, etc). Studies atomization for scaling back. View Image.

*Currently we have available the techniques specified above but we soon expect to add: fluorescence detection, ultrafiltration, electrophoresis, isoelectrofocussing, plate reader, HPLC, and more.
