Company

CFPS+ by GMES offers a scalable, cost-effective, and antibiotic-free cell-free protein synthesis solution. It ensures high yield and fidelity, eliminating AMR genes and antibiotic residues, making it ideal for safe protein expression.

Overview

General Molecular Expression Service Pty Ltd (GMES) presents CFPS+, an advanced cell-free protein synthesis technology that revolutionizes protein and macromolecule expression. CFPS+ is designed to deliver high-yield, low-cost, and scalable solutions without the use of antibiotics or AMR genes, ensuring a safe and contamination-free product. This makes it an ideal choice for industries requiring stringent safety standards and high-fidelity protein production.

Technical specifications
  • Antibiotic-free process: CFPS+ operates without the need for antibiotics or AMR genes, ensuring no antibiotic residues in the final product.
  • High fidelity and yield: Eliminates all DNA & RNA from lysate before gene of interest (GOI) input, ensuring exclusive transcription/translation (TX/TL) of the GOI.
  • Scalability and cost-effectiveness: Easily scalable to meet various production needs while maintaining low costs.
  • Wild-type sourced elements: Utilizes wild-type bacterial components, removing the need for strain selection or recombination screening.
  • Contamination-free: No risk of animal transmissible diseases or pathogen contamination.
Technology readiness level

CFPS+ is currently at Technology Readiness Level 5, with the first version commercially viable and ongoing R&D efforts to enhance future versions. GMES offers potential partnerships in co-R&D and licensing for further development, alongside access to downstream processing technologies through collaborations with Neopuriph, Uni Adelaide, and BOKU.
