Automated workflow advances purification efficiency

Swedish bioanalyticals provider Gyros Protein Technologies AB (part of Mesa Labs) and global life sciences company Biotage have jointly developed an automated plate-based peptide purification workflow to provide a fast and environmentally sustainable solution for high-throughput peptide purification.

Biotage PeptiPEC high-throughput kits leverage Gyros Protein Technologies’ proprietary PurePep® EasyClean (PEC™) catch and release technology, which combined with Biotage’s Extrahera automated platform is said to be able to purify up to 96 peptides in parallel 75% faster and with 98% lower solvent consumption in comparison to sequential HPLC.

Tomas Blomquist, CEO, Biotage, said: “We’re excited to be partnering with Gyros Protein Technologies to bring a plate-based automated solution for parallel high-throughput peptide purification to market, removing bottlenecks for peptide scientists, and providing a complete workflow solution from synthesis to evaporation. This partnership strengthens our position in the rapidly growing peptide market and supports our mission to provide high-quality, end-to-end separation and sample preparation solutions to scientists all over the world.”

Mark Vossenaar, Vice President, General Manager, Biopharmaceutical Development Division at Mesa Labs, commented: “By partnering with Biotage, we are taking a step further in our commitment to provide scientists with state-of-the-art peptide solutions across the entire value chain, from early research and screening to large-scale peptide production. The availability of our proprietary PEC purification for automation in a plate-based format is equipping researchers with faster and more sustainable processes to advance their drug discovery."
