Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of protein labelling does Evotec offer?
Evotec provides uniform 13C, 15N, and 2H stable isotope labelling, amino acid-selective labelling, non-natural amino acid incorporation, and site-specific conjugation such as biotinylation and fluorescent tagging.

Q: Which expression systems are available for protein production?
Proteins can be produced using cell-free systems, E. coli and other bacteria, yeast such as Pichia pastoris, insect cells including Sf9 and Sf21, and mammalian hosts like HEK293 and CHO.

Q: What are the typical applications of labelled proteins?
Labelled proteins support NMR and structural biology, quantitative proteomics and mass spectrometry, biophysical studies including SPR and ITC, and assay development or mechanistic investigations.

Q: Can Evotec scale production for larger quantity needs?
Yes. Evotec offers scalable production from milligram to gram quantities with consistent, reproducible performance across batches.

Q: How does Evotec ensure protein quality and functionality?
All proteins undergo high-purity purification, functional validation, and advanced analytical characterization to confirm labelling efficiency and activity.

Q: Do you offer custom construct design and cloning?
Yes. Evotec provides tailored construct design, cloning, and expression optimization based on the target protein and application requirements.
