Protein purification requires vessels of exceptional quality to maintain biological activity and product purity throughout isolation and processing. Polished vessels are essential components in these sophisticated biopharmaceutical operations.
Proteins are sensitive biomolecules that can easily denature or aggregate on contact with suboptimal surfaces. Polished vessels provide:

Proteins are susceptible to denaturation, aggregation, and non-specific binding when contacting suboptimal surfaces. Polished vessels minimize these risks by providing smooth, non-reactive surfaces that preserve protein structure and activity while maximizing product recovery and purity.
For protein purification applications, vessels typically require surface finishes with Ra values of 0.4μm (16μin) or better, with critical applications often specifying Ra 0.2–0.3μm (8–12μin) electropolished finishes to minimize protein interaction and product loss.
Validation typically includes material certification, surface roughness measurement, protein recovery studies, cleaning validation with protein-specific detection methods, endotoxin testing, and comprehensive documentation of all manufacturing processes to meet regulatory requirements.
Temperature control is essential for protein stability, with vessels often featuring jacketed designs for precise cooling. Options include conventional jackets, dimple jackets, or half-pipe coils, with capabilities for rapid temperature changes to preserve protein activity during processing.
Gentle agitation systems are preferred for protein solutions to prevent denaturation. Options include magnetically coupled mixers, low-shear impeller designs, and bottom-mounted mixers that provide homogenization while minimizing protein damage from mechanical forces.
