About Protein Technologies

Protein Technologies' peptide synthesizers and reagents are used in universities, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies worldwide to deliver uncompromising purity, flexibility, and quality from discovery to pre-clinical studies. With citations in 100’s of publications and use in CMO’s and CRO’s, these peptide synthesis solutions are trusted to generate the highest quality data and synthesize simple to complex multifunctional peptides.

Protein Technologies’ PS3^™ was launched in 1990, and since then the portfolio has been expanded to include a variety of best-in-class solid phase peptide synthesizers: Tribute^®, Prelude^® X, Symphony^® X, and Sonata^® and PurePep^® Chorus^®.

With an expanded global presence of the combined Service and Sales organizations, Gyros Protein Technologies has an even stronger commitment to supporting our customers around the world to accelerate the discovery, development, and manufacturing of safer biotherapeutics. Both the Uppsala, Sweden and Tucson, Arizona centers of excellence are ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities.
