Why Researchers Choose LifeTein

LifeTein® has developed a proprietary technology called PeptideSynTM. This platform combines Fmoc and Boc chemistry, specialized solid support resins, a bio-inert HPLC system, and microwave technology to support efficient peptide synthesis with consistent quality and competitive pricing.

We have extensive experience synthesizing peptides across a broad range of sequence lengths and complexities, including peptides that exceed 100 amino acids. Notable achievements include a 76aa BfUbb peptide, a 97aa peptide mB Box-97syn, a 133aa SHT peptide, and a 169aa long peptide. All peptides are verified by HPLC purification and molecular weight confirmation using Electrospray Ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry.

Designed for Challenging Peptide Sequences

Many peptide projects are straightforward, while others require more careful planning because of hydrophobic residues, aggregation tendencies, unusual amino acid composition, long sequence length, or specialized modifications. LifeTein supports challenging peptide projects including hydrophobic peptides, long peptides, heavily modified peptides, and peptides used in conjugation, assay, and delivery applications.

  • Hydrophobic and aggregation-prone peptide sequences
  • Long peptides, including sequences over 100 amino acids
  • Modified peptides with labels, linkers, or conjugation requirements
  • Peptides for antibody production, assay development, protein interaction studies, and peptide-based delivery
