Biotage, a leading supplier of tools and technology for medicinal and analytical chemistry, are proud to announce a new initiative to develop new applications for the Biotage Syro Wave in the field of synthetic peptide and protein chemistry.
Global demand from research scientists for synthetic peptides continue to grow at a double digit rate. Their needs are for increasingly longer and more complex peptides to study protein interactions, produce peptide antibodies, and understand complex disease states. As the number and complexity of peptides increase, the scientists and researchers need new tools that offer higher productivity and increased performance.
The Biotage Syro Wave automated peptide synthesizer was jointly developed by Biotage and MultiSynTech GmbH. The instrument combines the proven technologies behind Biotage’s Initiator microwave instrument with the well-established Syro line of robotic peptide synthesizers from MultiSynTech. As noted by Professor Knud J. Jensen from the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen, “The Syro Wave is the first valve-free peptide synthesizer with integrated microwave heating. It holds great promise for the synthesis of both long peptides and even small proteins.”
