What if Your Protein is Poorly Expressed or Not at All?
If your host-vector system is only yielding low amounts of protein or, worse, none at all, then Athena’s Protein Expression products may offer you cost-effective and simple solutions. Before considering the costly and time-consuming process of developing an alternative expression system, we recommend that you try a few simple, inexpensive, and fast techniques first.
Optimized Media for Maximum Yield
Our media formulations, accessory products, and techniques were honed over 25 years of solving challenging protein production problems for customers. The culture media formulations were designed to increase the production of a recombinant protein by increasing both the amount of protein accumulated and the amount of biomass produced.
A Media Design for Better Expression
Our media formulations have been refined to take advantage of the observation that the amount of recombinant protein produced by a host is influenced by the type and amount of carbon source working in synergy with the type of nitrogen source. Easy-to-use media optimization kits provide a rapid, low-cost means of identifying the best available culture media for the production of a given recombinant protein.
Certified Animal-Free Media Solutions
For customers developing production schemes that require the elimination of materials containing animal products, Athena has two lines of culture media certified as Animal Product Free. Look for the APF Certified designation.
