Biologics

"one-stop-shop" for expression, analytics-driven purification, characterization, developability assessment

Have you run your biologics discovery program, passed the engineering phase and are now at a stage where you would like to further characterize your biologics?

At Proteros we are familiar with a wide variety of biologics formats (bs-Ab, ms-Abs, cytokines, non-human antibody formats and antigens) and deliver the right biologics with accurate assembly, purity, structural and biophysical characterization and early developabilty assessment (non GxP) in a "one-stop-shop" approach to help you REACH RIGHT FASTER for your downstream applications.

Proteros can express and purify your antigen and biologics at different research scales with low endotoxin levels and study the biologics-antigen biophysical/biochemical interaction, conduct structural analysis on epitope binding and stoichiometry, run antibody thermostability and stress tests and conduct early developability assessments for advanced molecules.

Reach right faster in
biologics development 

What if there was an integrated platform that enabled early-stage evaluation of developability profiles of lead candidates?  

There is! We call it the Proteros Integrated Biologics Workbench. To find out more, download our PepTalk 2022 poster.
