Based upon work by UK researchers from Bath and Dundee, the entirely on-resin synthesis on the Activo-P11 demonstrates significant improvements in speed and efficiency over traditional approaches
Activotec says its Activo-P11 peptide synthesiser is an easy to use and affordable instrument for synthesis of very high quality peptides.
The fully automated and enclosed system performs a wide range of chemistries to synthesise peptides of any length in the 0.1-1.0mmol scale.
A technical poster describing a new all-solid phase approach using the Activo-P11 for synthesising cyclic peptide chitinase inhibitors as potential new leads for antifungal and anti-inflammatory drugs is available.
Activotec, which has its trading base in Cambridge (UK) and an R+D and production facility in Southampton (UK), was founded in 2002 as a spin out from the school of biological sciences at the University of Southampton.
