  • How do I find out what it will cost to ship?

    Calculating your shipping rate


    Because there are so many variables in generating a basic shipping quote, we recommend that you use our calculate shipping tool on our cart to get the most accurate estimate pricing figure.


    You need not make any purchase to do so.


    You can generate your own price quote by adding the items you are considering for purchase to your shopping cart. If this is your first time using the shipping tool, you may be asked to select the carrier, to enter a shipping zip code and/or address in order to proceed on to the page with the shipping estimates. Rest assured that you will not be charged unless you proceed all the way through to the completion of your order (and the Order Confirmation page).


    Once you have entered the requested information needed to provide the estimate, the various available shipping options and relative pricing will be displayed. This page will also reflect an overall price for the order, including product, tax (if applicable) and shipping.


    Please note that both product & shipping prices are subject to change. Quotes generated using the method noted above are only valid for the browser session during which they are generated. Prices displayed during previous sessions will not be honored.


    The cart does not reflect customs duties for internationally bound packages ordered through the site. For more information on import taxes, please contact your local customs office.

  • Do you produce characterization reports?

    Absolutely! Our report is attached to every order that leaves the lab. It contains analysis of SDS PAGE, purity, concentration and storage condition etc., and is delivered in the same packet as the order.

  • What is the pricing structure?

    Pricing is dependent on the work necessary and the difficulty of the protein. Generally it is a good idea to call the company and discuss your needs with our Chief Scientific Officer. He can give you a good idea of the cost that can fit your budget.

  • What is your experience level?

    The bottom line is, "it's high." Our senior scientists have over 20 years in the protein field, have written and published numerous articles, and are well known in their field. Similarly our lab technicians have extensive training in protein expression techniques and are accomplished in their field.

  • Are you open to a possible strategic relationship?

    Although Protein One is a developmental stage company, we are always open to discussions with other companies concerning collaborations. We believe we have a lot to offer and if joining with another company will add to the collective success of a project we will wholeheartedly consider it. Please give us a call if this is the situation.

  • How will you maintain confidentiality?

    Protein One believes in the confidentially of all orders and of the order receiver. We will not reveal the recipient, or the quality, or the protein without consent of the customer. We will not issue any press releases without joint coordination between the parties. Please read our "Privacy Statement" at the end of this section for further details.

  • When will my credit card be charged?

    If during the checkout you choose to pay by credit card, your credit card will be charged when your order is placed.

  • Why was my credit card declined?

Please confirm your address, credit card number, expiration date, and cvv number before attempting to place the order again. If you have moved or changed addresses recently, you may wish to try using your prior address in the Billing Address field. If all information in our systems is accurate, please contact your credit card company and confirm the address that is listed for the primary account holder. Only a small percentage of transactions are declined due to credit card balance concerns.

Quality and Activity Controls

The quality of our proteins are monitored mainly by SDS-PAGE:

Our proteins are purified greater than 95% homogeneous and contain no detectable protease, DNase, and RNase activity.

To checked Proteins activity, here at Protein One, we used among other:

Our patent pending Active Protein Array, to check protein-protein / protein-DNA / protein-RNA... binding activity.


The in vitro transcription assay developed in-house to check transcription activity.
