Simplified peptide purification without the solubility headache

Where does chromatography fail your workflow?

Throughput delays

HPLC systems often create bottlenecks, delaying timelines, especially with hydrophobic peptides that resist standard chromatography.

Redissolution after synthesis

Multi-step processes, including tedious precipitation and redissolution, increase sample loss and success rate variability.

High costs and waste

Resource-intensive workflows consume excessive solvent, increasing operational costs and environmental impact significantly.

PEC 2.0: Direct catch from the TFA cocktail

Traditional workflows force you to precipitate peptides in ether after synthesis, then struggle to redissolve them before HPLC. PEC 2.0 eliminates this. Our TFA-stable beads let you immobilize ("catch") peptides directly from the cleavage cocktail—no precipitation, no redissolution problems before moving on downstream.

The result: A simpler, more reliable catch-and-release process with minimal solvent use.

Assay-ready peptides made simple

PEC 2.0 is engineered to solve the most common challenges in peptide research, delivering validated results without the traditional trade-offs.

⚡Speed & Simplicity

Purify peptides in parallel with a seamless, redissolution-free workflow from synthesis to purification in a single day.

Example: Process up to 16 peptides in parallel in 1 day vs. 4 days for serial HPLC

✅Reliability & Success

Enhance your success rate for difficult sequences by directly immobilizing them from the TFA cleavage cocktail.

Example: Purify extremely hydrophobic peptides with Eisenberg values up to 10.

🌱Low Solvent & Waste

Significantly reduce your lab's ecological footprint with cartridge-based purification PEC.

Example: ~50 mL per run vs. ~600 mL for HPLC (12x reduction)

Validated PEC-grade quality

PEC-grade purity is not just a metric—it's quality that is validated for function. Peptides purified with PEC 2.0 have produced reliable, reproducible results in demanding applications, including:

AlphaScreen^® binding assays (Putta et al., Structure 2022, 30, P1340-1353)
Surface Plasmon Resonance (Dueholm R. et al., Int. J. Pharm. 2025, 671, 125198)
T-cell activation assays (case study validation)

Results presented at Boulder Peptide Symposium 2025 demonstrated functional equivalence between 384 PEC-grade (72% mean purity) and HPLC-grade (93%) peptides in cell-based assays.

Is PEC 2.0 right for you?

✅ PEC is especially effective for purifying:

Short peptides that won’t precipitate
Hydrophobic peptides that won't dissolve after precipitation
Long peptides (>50 AA) with complex impurity profiles
Aggregating sequences
Hydrophilic peptides that flush through HPLC

❌ PEC may not be the best choice when:

Peptides are N-terminally modified (no free N-terminus)
Ultra-high purity required (>95%) in a single purification run

Transform your purification success in three steps

Validated performance you can trust

Don't just take our word for it—hear from researchers who have transformed their workflows with PEC 2.0:

Your new purification system clearly provides a much cleaner peptide than the previous version, and in both cases purer than the commercial one."

— Nicolo Tonali, CEA

For us it saves a considerable amount of time. In comparison with our timeline, we saved 3-4 days to have the purified peptides."

— Steven Ascoet, Ph.D., Harvard University

We are very positively surprised about the degree of simplification going from PEC 1.0 to PEC 2.0, something our technicians specifically pointed out!"

— Christian Bech-Bartling, Sr Scientist at Gubra

Frequently asked questions

Do my peptides need a free N-terminus?

Yes. PEC requires free N-terminus for standard Starter Kit protocol. Alternative coupling sites require custom development.

What purity can I expect?

PEC-grade quality (>70% average UV purity, sequence-dependent) validated as fit-for-purpose in functional assays. For ultra-high purity (>95%), consider PEC + HPLC combination.

What if PEC doesn't work with my specific peptides?

As long as you have a free N-terminus and understand PEC-grade quality, we're confident in first-try success. We provide online resources for optimal training.

How does PEC compare to HPLC?

PEC is complementary to HPLC, not a complete replacement. Use PEC when chromatography fails (difficult peptides) or creates bottlenecks (throughput needs).

Can I use PEC for GMP peptides?

The Starter Kit is for research and preclinical applications. For GMP requirements, contact our team for custom process development.

What about the High-Throughput kits?

We change entirely to the new PEC 2.0 protocol. Contact us to discuss higher throughput solutions.
