Transforming Biomanufacturing: Potential of Cell Free Systems

Roots Analysis

Overview of Cell Free Systems Cell-free systems are ­in-vitro platforms which allow occurrence of biochemical reactions in the absence of living cells. Additionally, these types of cell free systems do not contain proteases and nucleases as crude cell lysates, which further helps in improving the production of many proteins.

Rising Demand for DNA and Gene Cloning  Service Providers

Roots Analysis

Once isolated, molecular clones can be used to generate multiple copies of DNA for the analysis of gene sequences and / or to express proteins obtained for the study or utilization of protein function. These clones can be manipulated and mutated in vitro to alter the expression and function of a protein.
