Breakdown of Standard Service by Phase
Phase I
- cloning of your gene of interest into vector with his-tag or IgG-Fc tag (human or murine)
- Sequence confirmation of insert
- Small scale (10 mL) transfection to test the expression level; and subsequent optimization if necessary
$2000 due at the beginning of phase
Estimated time: 3-4 weeks
Phase II
- Mid-scale transfection (50mL) and purification
- SDS-page validation
$1,500 due at the beginning of phase.
Estimated time: 2-3 weeks
Phase III
- Large scale transfection (500 mL) of recombinant vector into HEK293 or CHO cells, and protein expression, evaluation and optimization
- Protein purification from 500 mL of HEK293 or CHO cell culture using Ni-NTA or Protein G affinity purification columns (tag cleavage provided at additional cost).
$2,000 due at the beginning of phase
Estimated time: 4 weeks
