About
The Gyros Protein Technologies PurePep Chorus Peptide Synthesizer is an all-in-one scalable peptide synthesizer that utilizes solid-phase peptide synthesis. Induction heating, oscillation mixing, and UV monitoring are available on all four reaction vessels to deliver higher yield, purity, and flexibility. The four reaction vessels can be run in parallel in 10-mL, 25-mL, and 40-mL reaction vessel sizes. Heating conditions in all four reaction vessels can be independently set for customized reactions. Real time UV monitoring ensures complete deprotection of amino acids to improve yields and lower the occurrence of deletion sequences. Eight different solvent/reagent bottles allow for customization of coupling and washing steps. The system includes active solvent level sensing and detection of a full waste container.
