Our proprietary VirtuE™ expression system has been developed for the purpose of producing native-like proteins, which are widely adopted by leading in vitro diagnostic, vaccine and academic groups in cutting-edge R&D, where correct folding and glycosylation are vital. Our contract services range from antibody generation, to scale production of recombinant and native antigens, and bespoke assay development and QC.
