Our ALiCE® cell-free protein expression kits are designed with ease-of-use in mind.

Using our simple protocol will take you from reaction set-up to expressed protein in under 48 hours. All it takes is your gene-of-interest cloned into one of our vectors and the ALiCE® lysate. No additional reagents, no extra steps, and no protein-specific optimizations.

The ALiCE® Kit Workflow

  • Step 1

    Thaw a tube of ALiCE® and add plasmid DNA containing your gene of interest

  • Step 2

    Incubate at 25°C for 24 - 48 hours

  • Step 3

    Collect your protein!

Two Pathways of Expression

The ALiCE® kit offers two routes of protein expression for ultimate flexibility:

  1. For the expression of simple, cytosolic proteins, the pALiCE01 vector is provided. Using this vector, a minimum of  2 mg/ml protein can be achieved.
  2. For expression of more complex eukaryotic proteins, delivery of your gene in the pALiCE02 vector will target your protein to the microsome (derived from Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum), for post-translational modifications.

The Technology Behind the Kit

Our cell-free protein expression kits contain our Almost Living Cell-Free Expression (ALiCE®) technology. ALiCE® is a lysate derived from eukaryotic cells and contains all of the protein expression machinery needed to produce even the most difficult-to-express proteins, including those requiring post-translational modifications.
