Characterization of Recombinant Proteins
We offer customizable characterization packages for the analysis of recombinant proteins, using a broad range of analytical techniques to thoroughly assess your protein’s properties.
In close collaboration with you, we design a tailored plan to evaluate key attributes such as purity, identity, structure, aggregation, and stability – whether your protein is produced in microbial or mammalian expression systems.
Our cross-disciplinary expertise further enables us to provide deeper insight into your protein’s functionality by integrating in vitro modelling, molecular histology, or formulation services where relevant.
Whether you are working in early-stage research, assay development, or biopharmaceutical development, our comprehensive characterization approach provides the data needed to support informed decision-making and move your project forward with confidence.

Why Bioneer?
With over 30 years of protein expertise, we offer a rapid project start-up and flexible timelines that adapt to your project needs.
Our robust and well-documented processes ensure reliable results, while our customized solutions make even the most complex projects manageable.
Based in the Medicon Valley, we combine the agility of a CRO/CDMO with the high quality standards you expect from a Nordic partner.
