Stable Cell line production
Membrane preparation
Life for the protein scientist would be very easy if every protein could be purified in hundred-milligram quantities from small-scale flask cultures of E. coli.Unfortunately, many proteins require expression in animal-cell systems and culture scale-up.

Blue Sky scientists will take care of the frustrating, laborious work of tissue culture- our clients can save their time for true scientific investigation instead of spending hours ensuring that cultures stay healthy and contamination-free. We have a great deal of experience with insect-cell lines, and in our past work we have grown dozens of different mammalian cell lines.

In similar fashion, Blue Sky will save its clients a great deal of time with bioprocess scale-up services. Using bioreactors, Blue Sky scientists will quickly deliver large quantities of cell paste or conditioned medium.
