iCE™ platforms perform imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) and capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS) for reproducible, quantitative analysis of identity, purity, and heterogeneity profiles for your therapeutic proteins. And they do it fast—we're talking results in 15 minutes or less per sample! You'll also get high resolution, full-on automation, and none of the hassles that come with other IEF techniques. Maurice platforms also automate size separations for you, so you'll get robust and quantitative analysis for your monoclonal antibodies too.
ProteinSimple is now a brand in the Bio-Techne family of brands that includes R&D Systems, Novus Biologicals and Tocris. As a company, Bio-Techne has developed, manufactured and sold biotechnology products, clinical calibrators and controls, and consumables for protein analysis—and now analytical instrumentation and consumables through ProteinSimple.
