They also have a fully staffed lab in San Diego, equipped with HPLC, Preparative HPLC, LC-MS, Automatic Peptide Synthesizer, Rotary Evaporator and Freeze Dryer. They offer high quality products and service to their customers in the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Food Ingredient and Academia field.
Application: Peptides Freeze Drying
Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is one of the most commonly used approaches for synthesizing peptides used in research, clinical, and commercial applications. The following purification mainly takes place in the Reversed phase Preparative HPLC. Afterwards, a large amount of water needs to be removed. Freeze Drying has been commonly used in this application.
Equipment: BUCHI Lyovapor™ L-300
Lyovapor™ L-300 with manifold is used to freeze dry the peptides.
Benefit / Conclusion: Infinite ice capacity, Powerful vacuum and condenser performance
The Lyovapor™ L-300 offers continuous sublimation with two alternately working and automatically cleaned condensers at -105 °C. User can add samples at any time without maintenance. The powerful condenser and vacuum keep the system always on high performance level.
“The Lyovapor™ L-300 makes our work easier, we don’t need to defrost and clean manually, anymore. The system is very powerful, average drying time is more than 10 hours less compared to other system.” Dr. Yingwei He, Innopep, California USA
