A small production lab, run by people who have waited for proteins themselves.

Why this service exists

Most protein production is priced and organised around large programmes. That leaves a gap: the group who needs thirty milligrams of one protein, next month, to find out whether an idea is worth pursuing. Those orders are too small to interest a CDMO and too disruptive to run in-house without stopping something else.

That gap has grown wider as computational design has got faster. A team can now generate more credible candidates in a week than their own bench can express in a quarter. When the queue at the bench sets the pace of a programme, the bottleneck has moved — and it is no longer where anyone budgeted for it.

We built this around that specific problem: a fast, honest first pass on a single target, with the data you need to decide whether to keep going.

What we are, plainly

A small-scale production lab. E. coli up to 10 L and transient mammalian expression in CHO and HEK293, with affinity and specificity analytics alongside. Everything we ship is research-grade and labelled for research use only.

We are part of Genotic, and the protein work described on this site is what this team does. We are not a marketplace reselling someone else's capacity, and we are not a CDMO — if your project has outgrown research quantities, we will tell you and point you at people who do that properly.

What we do not do

• Insect cell / baculovirus expression
• Yeast (Pichia, S. cerevisiae) expression
• GMP or clinical-grade material
• Supply for diagnostic or therapeutic use
• Antibody discovery — no immunisation, no hybridoma work. We express sequences you already have.
• Freedom-to-operate assessment on sequences you send us.

This list is deliberately visible rather than buried. Knowing where a supplier stops is more useful than a long list of things they claim to be good at.
