Proteins are indispensable in the early stages of drug discovery; purified proteins are used for target validation, enzyme characterization, high-throughput screening (HTS) and structural studies. In order to study proteins in vitro, researchers need active protein, free of impurities that can potentially interfere with the study of its mechanism. Blue Sky’s Protein Science Facility understands that drug discovery is catalyzed by pure, active enzymes that yield clean signals and reproducible results.

Our Protein Lab is comprised of highly skilled biochemists with many years of hands-on experience in protein purification and characterization. Our core expertise in purification techniques, project management and data analysis provides the perfect CRO platform for high quality protein production. We specialize in custom enrichment/purification method development [SCOPE™ services] or rapid adaptation of a purification protocol optimized in our client’s lab. Blue Sky has also optimized a service for endotoxin removal/reduction and will also test preparations for endotoxin levels [De-Tox™ services].
