eProtein™ Synthesis Ink

Nuclera’s eProtein synthesis bio-ink empowers scientists to perform protein discovery in 24hrs. Our bio-inks enable users to screen and print proteins through a diverse range of nature’s biofactories (organisms) and find the best expression system for their unique needs.

Minimise your production time

Using eProtein synthesis bio-ink significantly reduces hands-on time. It enables the production of 'difficult' proteins such as transmembrane or toxic proteins and can increase yields of functional, soluble protein.

eDrop™ Digital Microfluidics

Our eDrop lab-on-a-chip technology employs cutting edge eProtein and eDNA synthesis bio-inks to make complex drug discovery workflows accessible on the benchtop.

Making biology accessible through digital microfluidics

Nuclera’s eDrop is a programmable lab-on-a-chip technology. Any bio workflow can be coded and faithfully translated to the nanoliter scale on the same Nuclera cartridge. Through truly integrated workflows, Nuclera can support life scientists throughout the experimental cycle, from design and biomolecule manufacture to data acquisition and analytics.

How does it work?

Our eDrop platform is based on TFT electronics, as used in the consumer electronics display industry. Powered by the electrowetting effect, software controlled electronic signals change the interaction between a droplet and the surface to enable operations such as movement, mixing, and splitting. The high resolution of our eDrop platform (hundreds of thousands of electrodes) provides exquisite control of droplet operations, enables high parallelisation, and allows low volume (tens to hundreds of nanoliter) droplets to be created.
