Leveraging ARTES technology

ARTES Business Development Director Dr. Melanie Piontek commented: “We have moved to meet the pharma industry demand for greater material support for research laboratories engaged in diagnostic and vaccine research and biotechnology in general. These teams need reliable, responsive and good value EU-sourced supply of dependable reagents.”

The ARTES offer provides labs with HBsAG and HPV antigens in the form of non-infective virus-like particles resembling the native virus serotype conformation, along with Endoglycosidase H, Inorganic Pyrophosphatase, and T7 RNA Polymerase recombinant enzymes and the functional protein Brazzein. A further product, Human Serum Albumin, will be added to the line shortly.
