AUTOMATED LIQUID HANDLING PLATFORM FOR SMALL-SCALE PROTEIN PURIFICATION APPLICATIONS

JANUS® G3 BioTX™ Pro Workstations

The JANUS® G3 BioTx™ automated workstations enable consistent small-scale protein purification and sample prep for analytical protein characterization required to support quality by design experimentation in both upstream and downstream processes. Automating sample prep provides researchers more time to focus on new analytical tests obtaining critical information earlier in the protein development pipeline. Time and labor savings accelerate project workflows and thus, commercialization of protein therapies.

Automate Four Modes of Small-scale Protein Purification on a Single Platform

  • PhyNexus® PhyTips® columns
  • GE® PreDictor™ plates/ Pall® AcroPrep™ filter plates
  • OPUS® RoboColumns® Chromatography Columns
  • GE® His GraviTrap™ columns

Maximize Productivity with Automated Purification Methods

The JANUS® G3 BioTx™ workstations accommodate column, tip, and batch chromatography modes on one platform. With just one instrument, you can achieve rapid analysis of a range of sample volumes and concentrations to support Quality by Design experimentation in both upstream or downstream processes.

To further maximize productivity PerkinElmer has created the PKeye™ Mobile Operations Monitor, which allows for true walk-away push button protocols through advanced monitoring with integrated cameras. Learn more here.
