Recombinant Protein Expression Service in Mammalian Cells – Service Package for Standard Protein Targets
For standard proteins, this is the service package of choice if you require limited quantities of recombinant protein expressed in mammalian cells for example for initial target characterisation or early stage production. Furthermore, the manufacturability and production data obtained from this mammalian service package can serve as a valuable starting point for future upscaled and/or refined production of your target protein.
If you have a challenging target, need a larger quantity or have any other project requirements, we are happy to fulfill them with our ➥highly customized protein production services.

Your Inquiry
Please direct your project inquiry to the following contact details:
- ➥Contact form
- Email: sales@trenzyme.com
- Phone: +49 (0) 7531 12 29 0 0
Our scientific sales and application manager will get back to you within one business day to discuss the specific requirements of your project. You can choose to communicate conveniently via email, video conference, or phone call.

Feasibility Analysis
We provide various levels of serum-free adaptation for your protein production:
- Chemically defined
- Xeno-free
- Animal component–free
During this stage of the project, you specify your requirements, and our specialists will recommend one or more suitable medium formulations to meet your needs.

Quote and Project Plan
- Our scientific experts will conduct an initial feasibility check of your protein sequence. This will involve a literature check, database check, product check etc. The purpose of this check is to define the optimal service strategy for this specific target.
- A comprehensive quotation for the project will be submitted to you via email or by secure data transfer, at your preference.
- After the order has been placed and confirmed, the project will begin within one working day. From this point onwards, the project will be managed by our dedicated project management team, who will keep you constantly informed to ensure that the project is completed successfully.

Template DNA
- Template DNA provided by the customer: plasmid DNA containing the codon optimized DNA of the POI (protein of interest).
- Simple alternative - trenzyme's Gene Synthesis Service: Gene synthesis of codon and DNA structure optimized DNA (available as an add-on).

Plasmid Generation & Cloning
The following steps are to be carried out:
- PCR-based cloning or direct cloning of target DNA into trenzyme’s proprietary expression vector(s)
- Isolation of plasmid DNA
- QC of final construct by DNA sequencing

Small Scale Pilot Study
Small scale pilot study: Validation of secreted target protein expression in mammalian cells and feasibility of purification process prior to production to achieve maximum efficiency and save the customer significant time and money:
- Transient small-scale protein expression in shake flask culture
- Small-scale purification by affinity chromatography from culture supernatant (batch mode)
- Validation of successful target protein purification by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot
- Compilation of documentation of pilot study
- Guarantee: After a successfully completed pilot study, the outcome of this service package (purity and yield) is guaranteed
- Flexibility and Efficiency: If expression and purification is not feasible as desired, the project can be stopped at this point. Therefore, no further costs and time are incurred. However, we are pleased to provide you with support in relation to your challenging target protein. Our ➥Custom Protein Production Service provides a huge variety of highly customized solutions in order to achieve the project goal under modified conditions.

Production: Protein Expression
- Plasmid DNA preparation
- Transient protein expression in shake flask culture using trenzymes’ optimized protocols for high-efficiency transient production (up to 1 L cultivation volume)

Production: Protein Purification
- One-step purification of secreted target protein from culture supernatant at 1 ml resin scale according to data from the pilot study
- Buffer exchange into standard buffer
- Final guaranteed yield: 1 mg and purity: 90%

Final Quality Control of Protein

Shipment of Your Protein
- Quick global delivery with reliable transit times
- Our logistics professionals, in collaboration with selected shipping partners, ensure that all products are delivered in excellent condition and without any reduction in quality
- Partnerships with recognized international carriers operating comprehensive worldwide logistics networks
- Ongoing shipment monitoring with full tracking and tracing; the tracking number is provided upon dispatch
- Proteins and cell lines are generally shipped on dry ice to safeguard product integrity; alternative transport options such as dry shippers, blue ice, or ambient temperature can be arranged if required
- We place great emphasis on careful handling and responsible logistics, as environmental sustainability and climate protection are central objectives of our company (see ➥ Code of Conduct)

Deliverables
Along with your cryopreserved cells, you will receive detailed documentation that includes:
- A data sheet specifying exact culture conditions and medium formulations
- Records of growth performance
- Optionally, a complete report summarizing the entire adaptation process

What Our Clients Say About Us
Standard Protein or Demanding Target Protein
During an initial free one-to-one consultation, our scientific experts will perform a feasibility check (e.g. literature check, database check, product check, etc.) on your protein sequence to define the ideal service strategy for your specific target.
To maximize efficiency and save you significant time and money, this service includes a small-scale pilot study. This is a preliminary assessment of whether the target protein can be expressed in mammalian cells and whether the purification process is feasible. Test samples to check the functionality and quality of the purified target protein in your hands are available on request.
The big advantage for you: After pilot-scale evaluation, we guarantee final yield, purity and timeline – you only pay for production if we succeed!
