On Purification

PandaPure®

Purification with no columns, no resins, no beads.

PandaPure® revolutionizes purification using programmable, easy-to-grow organelles, instead of traditional solid supports in chromatography or other affinity methods.
finally, your workflow can become simple, effective, and scalable.

Reimagining purification

Why PandaPure?

The processes of separation, purification, and recovery of target molecules have traditionally been intricate and labor-intensive in the fields of chemistry and life sciences. However, advancements in biological methodologies offer a more streamlined approach.

Before: complex manual work with resins

PandaPure now: automatic separation within cells

Get to know PandaPure.

The next-generation solution for separation and purification, to free you from conventional, laborious, and unscalable procedures like chromatography.

How we make cells to purify your targets.

Example: PandaPure Protein System for bacterial E. coli

Program

Transform

Preparing PandaPure Organelle plasmid to express synthetic organelle (up), and cloning the target gene into the cognate PandaPure Expression Vector (bottom). Co-transforming two plasmids into a expression host, e.g., E. coli BL21(DE3).

Sort

Express & Bind

Induce co-expression of organelles and targets with respective inducers (e.g., aTc and IPTG), or via auto-induction medium.

Isolate

Lyse (& Wash)

Open the cell structures by disrupting cell membrane and/or cell walls, to isolate organelles enriched with target proteins. If necessary for higher purity, organelles are further washed with proper buffers.

Cut & Release

React the organelles with PandaPure® Protein Reagent, to mediate tag cleavages. Then recover the tag-less proteins in a simple centrifugation and/or filtration.

  1. * Lesser Panda kit model only provides essential starter supply of reagents when it is necessary. Ongoing reagents and consumables required for operation are available separately.
  2. § Enables application of PandaPure in manufacturing, quality control, third-party commercial services, in vitro diagnostic uses, therapeutic uses, but not resale or distribution without written agreement. For distribution partnership, please contact us for details.
  3. Cloning of PandaPure System can also be outsourced to our services.
  4. Comparison based on publicly listed pricing as of Dec 15, 2023 of products from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cytiva, and PandaPure Protein Reagent, in order to process 1 mg protein. Pricing may vary. Loss of proteins in each step is not counted. The exact savings can vary according to the differences among experiments, and is likely higher than what we estimate here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore Our Innovative Approach.

Discover how our biological programming transforms biotechnology into a programmable, efficient, and accessible technology.

What are PandaPure's synthetic organelles?

PandaPure uses engineered biological compartments (synthetic organelles), often formed via Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS). These DNA-programmed structures replace traditional purification media, offering novel functions beyond native cellular limits.

How does PandaPure compare to chromatography?

PandaPure replaces expensive, complex chromatography equipment (like FPLC) with programmable biological compartments working autonomously in your sample. Benefits include significantly reduced hands-on time and typically improved yields.

What can I purify with PandaPure now?

Current PandaPure Protein Expression and Purification kits are optimized for producing tag-free recombinant proteins from E. coli.  Kits for other targets are coming soon. Follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter for updates and early access!

What lysis method is compatible to PandaPure?

We have validated a wide range of methods, from sonication and mild detergents. You can also purchase optimized Lysis Reagent from us through Hi Panda kits.

What equipment do I need to implement PandaPure?

No special equipment needed – just standard lab items like centrifuges, pipettes, and incubators/shakers. PandaPure eliminates the need for costly FPLC systems and columns.

Is PandaPure suitable for high-throughput experiments?

Yes, PandaPure can enable high-throughput protocols using deep-well plates, liquid handling automation, and standard plate centrifuges (e.g., Eppendorf® 5804/5810).
