Toxin Purification

WE THINK OF OURSELVES AS ONE OF THE LEADERS IN THE PROVISION OF IDENTIFIED AND PURIFIED TOXINS AND VENOM COMPONENTS.

Laboratories frequently request purified venom components for use as positive controls in assays, research tools, or even as enzymes for manufacturing processes. This often follows publication of a specific toxin activity demonstrating its potential use as a tool where small molecules have failed. Ion channel targets are an example of this. Supply of purified venom follows hit discovery from screening venom fractions and hit-to-lead confirmation.

We will work with you to confirm the molecule you need – via mass spectrometry, gel electrophoresis or enzyme activity – as well as to tailor and develop purification techniques to meet your specific needs.
