FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our protein screening services.

Which display platform should I choose for my project?
The choice depends on your target and requirements. Yeast display offers FACS-based quantitative screening with mammalian folding quality control. Phage display provides the largest library sizes and is well-suited for antibody discovery. mRNA display offers ultra-large libraries and allows non-natural amino acid incorporation. Our team will help you select the optimal platform based on your specific project needs.
What library sizes can you work with?
Our platforms support different library sizes: yeast display (10^7-10^9), phage display (10^10-10^12), mRNA display (10^12-10^14), and ribosome display (10^12-10^14). We also offer pre-built libraries with validated diversity for common applications.
Can you screen against difficult targets like membrane proteins?
Yes, we have experience with challenging targets including GPCRs, ion channels, and transporters. For membrane proteins, we offer options including cell-based panning, virus-like particle display, and solublization strategies. Our team will optimize the screening approach based on your target's characteristics.
How long does a typical screening project take?
Typical timelines vary by project complexity: standard antibody discovery (6-12 weeks), enzyme engineering (8-16 weeks), and complex targets (12-20 weeks). The timeline depends on library selection, number of selection rounds, and hit validation requirements. Expedited timelines are available for urgent projects.
What formats are the final hit reagents delivered in?
We deliver characterized hit antibodies as plasmid DNA, purified protein, or both depending on your needs. Each hit includes sequence information, binding characterization data (ELISA, SPR/BLI), and developability assessment. Custom formats and additional characterization can be arranged.
Do you offer affinity maturation services?
Yes, we offer affinity maturation services to improve the binding affinity of initial hits. This includes library generation around CDR regions, additional screening rounds, and affinity measurement by SPR or BLI. Typical maturation campaigns can improve affinity by 10-100 fold.
Can you perform counter-selection to reduce off-target binding?
Absolutely. Counter-selection is a standard part of our screening workflow. We can use irrelevant proteins, related targets, or specific tissues/cell types to deplete cross-reactive binders and improve target specificity.
What developability assessment do you provide?
Our standard hit characterization includes developability assessment such as expression yield, thermal stability (Tm), aggregation propensity, and cross-reactivity screening. We also offer AI-powered developability prediction using machine learning models trained on large antibody property datasets.
