Accelerating your design-to-discovery workflow

Advances in protein engineering have greatly increased the ability to synthesize proteins with an intended function, including therapeutics, biocatalysts, antibodies, materials, and food ingredients. These advances have been driven by rapid DNA synthesis, increased computational power, genomic data, automation, and artificial intelligence.

Two critical bottlenecks exist in high-throughput protein engineering and expression workflows: DNA synthesis and protein expression/analysis. Plasmid DNA synthesis can take 2-3 weeks, followed by 2-3 additional days to express and purify protein for analysis.

myTXTL® cell-free protein expression solutions from Daicel Arbor Biosciences help relieve these bottlenecks by:

Expressing protein immediately upon adding DNA template, yielding enough protein for analysis in hours not days.
Supporting linear DNA templates to reduce time and costs compared to cloning DNA into plasmids (plasmid DNA is also supported).
Eliminating the need for additional protein purification because the open reaction environment offers immediate access to the protein for activity assays.

Our myTXTL cell-free products work with existing expression vectors used in E. coli and scale from 24 to thousands of reactions.
