What Protein Technologies does

Protein Technologies operates commercially as Gyros Protein Technologies and is incorporated in Sweden as Gyros Protein Technologies AB, headquartered in Uppsala. The firm was founded in 1985 and maintains a U.S. operating presence historically tied to Tucson, Arizona. It designs, manufactures, and sells two integrated biopharmaceutical instrument platforms: peptide synthesis systems (PurePep Chorus for modular research-scale work, Symphony X providing 24 parallel independent channels for high-throughput operation, and PurePep SONATA+ at mid-pilot scale) together with the PurePep EasyClean (PEC) 2.0 purification kits; and automated immunoassay systems (Gyrolab xPlore and Gyrolab xPand) supported by proprietary CDMS disc consumables and instrument-control software modules.

The underlying technologies are Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) for the peptide platform and a microfluidic immunoassay architecture for the Gyrolab platform that replaces traditional ELISA workflows in clinical batch testing, impurity analysis, antibody titering, PK/TK studies, and bioprocess analytics. The Gyrolab platform is positioned across modalities including antibody therapeutics, antibody drug conjugates, biosimilars, therapeutic proteins, vaccines, viral vectors, oligonucleotides, and cell and gene therapies, with application-area coverage extending to affinity measurements, biomarkers/PD, free analyte analysis, immunogenicity, and NAMs/3Rs low-volume bioanalysis.

The revenue model blends capital equipment sales (synthesizers, Gyrolab instruments), recurring consumables and QC-tested reagents (CDMS discs, PEC kits, spare parts), one-time software module licenses, and professional services including IQ/OQ validation and custom assay/contract research offerings. Pricing is quote-based; the firm provides an ROI calculator and online quote request system but does not publish price tiers. Distribution occurs through direct global sales, a self-serve online order and certificate-of-analysis channel, and a certified CRO partner network that resells Gyrolab-based analytical testing services.

Core offering

Protein Technologies (doing business as Gyros Protein Technologies) manufactures and sells peptide synthesis instruments and automated immunoassay systems for biopharmaceutical research and production. Its PurePep platform includes modular synthesizers (PurePep Chorus, Symphony X, PurePep SONATA+) and the PEC 2.0 purification kit, while its Gyrolab platform offers xPlore and xPand immunoassay analyzers with proprietary consumables, software modules, IQ/OQ validation services, and custom assay services.

Product overview

Gyros Protein Technologies offers two integrated product platforms: Peptide Synthesis Solutions and Immunoassay Solutions. The peptide synthesis portfolio includes PurePep® Chorus (modular research synthesizer), Symphony® X (24-in-1 parallel synthesizer), PurePep® SONATA+ (mid-pilot scale), and PurePep EasyClean (PEC) 2.0 purification kits. The immunoassay portfolio features Gyrolab xPlore and Gyrolab xPand automated immunoassay systems, along with proprietary consumables and software modules. These products work together to support biopharmaceutical research from early discovery through clinical batch testing, replacing traditional ELISA methods with automated immunoassay technology for impurity quantification, antibody measurement, and product purity evaluation.
