Protein Production equipment
Our staff provide fully assisted technical support for the infrequent user and the facility is an excellent equipment resource for the experienced user.
Full Service Work
If you do not have the time to undertake the experiments yourself or do not intend to use the equipment frequently, we are happy to provide a full service where our experienced staff will undertake the experiments for you. In many cases this can be the most beneficial route to take as the staff are both efficient and have experience in many sample types and can often optimise the conditions and exploit other techniques that you may not have been aware of.
