Pricing and availability

 The Protea Explorer System is an integrated, protein sample preparation system.  Individual components have been engineered to allow their use in a continuous-flow, enclosed system that provides many advantages, including improved data quality and reduced time to results. 

Protea Explorer System components are available pre-assembled and tested on Experiment Platforms.  Components are also available for purchase as individual products.

Base Instrument Unit

The Base Unit can be used with any of the  Experiment Platforms.
