Molecular Express and its collaborators have extensive relationships with scientists and researchers throughout the world. These investigators are in academic institutions and commercial settings alike, thus providing a unique interface between the academic, governmental, clinical and commercial disciplines.

The Company and its scientific team have significant experience in process development, documentation, scale-up and cGMP manufacturing, having been part of the team that invented, developed and scaled up the manufacturing of AmBiosome®, an anti-fungal which has generated sales of well over $1 billion in the marketplace.

Molecular Express currently has active research and development programs in the fields of infectious diseases, anti-cancer therapies and regenerative medicine.

Molecular Express believes in the power of shared vision, innovative ideas, and collaborative efforts.

Services

CALV Services

The TLR4 and TLR0 conjugatable kits are designed to conjugate up to 0.1 µmole of antigen per 100 µL dose, which contains 15 µg of MPL per dose (for TLR4 kits). The antigens are required to have sulfhydryl group(s). If your antigen of interest does not contain any available sulfhydryls, or if you prefer to have concentrated doses (e.g., for intranasal administration), etc., their staff scientists are available to help you with your specific design. Custom services include:

· antigen modification

· conjugation

· alternative adjuvant(s)

· alternative formulations (including varying liposome/adjuvant/antigen concentrations)

Protein Expression and Purification

They are equipped to perform small (1 to 4 L) to large (up to 25 L) scale E. coli protein expressions. Animal-free media is used to avoid unwanted contamination for downstream biopharmaceuticals production. Protein expression yield is generally ~100mg per liter or more. They are especially experienced in the purification of hydrophobic proteins. Purification methods include Immobilized-metal affinity chromatography (e.g., His-tag), ion exchange chromatography, size exclusion chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Their methods are developed to minimize endotoxin, for compatibility with downstream in vitro assays.

Analytical Services

Their facilities are equipped with three analytical HPLC systems with PDA detectors, which are routinely used for separation and analysis of lipids, proteins and peptides, as well as other bio-molecules. With their extensive experience in reverse-phase separation and analysis of lipophillic bio-molecules, they offer to assist with development and establishment of analytical HPLC methods and analytical services. 

Protein Preservation

Lyophilization and freeze drying

They offer traditional protein preservation methods, such as lyophilization and freeze drying.
