FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our service.

CHO cells produce higher yields (1-10 g/L) with complex human-like glycosylation, making them the gold standard for therapeutic protein production. HEK293 cells offer faster turnaround (2-4 weeks vs 3-8 weeks) with more human-like glycosylation patterns, ideal for research and early screening. Our team will recommend the optimal platform based on your application.
We offer multiple glycoengineering options: afucosylation for enhanced ADCC activity, controlled sialylation for optimized half-life, bisecting GlcNAc incorporation, and homogeneous glycan production. Our glycoengineered CHO platforms can produce specific glycoforms with consistent quality.
Standard glycosylation analysis includes glycan profiling, sialic acid content determination, fucosylation analysis, and G0/G1/G2 distribution. Mass spectrometry and charge variant analysis are included for comprehensive characterization. Detailed glycan maps are provided in the Certificate of Analysis.
HEK293 expression typically takes 2-4 weeks for small-scale production. CHO cell expression requires 3-8 weeks depending on scale and complexity. Expedited services are available for urgent projects. Contact us for a detailed timeline based on your specific requirements.
Yes, we have experience with challenging targets including multi-domain proteins, heavily glycosylated proteins, and proteins with complex disulfide bond patterns. Our platforms include strategies for optimizing expression, folding, and secretion to maximize success with difficult proteins.
We offer flexible scale options from milligram to multigram quantities. Small-scale expression (1-100 mg) is ideal for initial characterization and screening. Medium-scale production (100 mg - 1 g) supports most research applications. Large-scale production (1-100+ g) is available for therapeutic development.
