Welcome to the Alliance Protein Laboratories web site! A.P.L. offers contract research services and consulting in the areas of protein and peptide biophysical characterization, protein aggregation, protein purification, and protein stabilization. If you are looking for analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), circular dichroism, light scattering, or native gel analysis of your biotech product, or help with your protein aggregation problems, you have found the right place! We have now done such analysis on literally hundreds of products, giving our scientists unparalleled experience.

A company profile and contact information can be found below.

Why should you choose A.P.L.?

We've been doing this for over 11 years and have completed over 1,000 projects for 200+ clients world-wide.
At A.P.L. the experiments and data interpretation are done by recognized experts with extensive experience in biotech R&D, not by a technician, and on our own equipment, not in a university lab.
We've already worked with most of the major biotech products (cytokines, interferons, growth factors, dozens of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, ...). That collective experience helps us interpret our data, and can help get your product to the patients who need it!

If you are even thinking about using another company for biophysical analysis see questions you need to ask a biophysical lab.

New! A.P.L. can now arrange for FTIR spectroscopy through a collaboration with Tiansheng Li, who recently left Amgen to form his own company, HTL Biosolutions. Tiansheng is an IR expert with over 10 years experience in the biotech industry, and we are happy to be able to tap into his expertise.
