SAMS™ Technology Platform Our proprietary Structure Aided Design & Multiplex Screening (SAMS™) platform uses bioinformatics and 3D modeling to create vast search spaces for protein configurations. Expression conditions are optimized in vitro to identify settings that produce a natural protein configuration with bioactivity in multiple cell lines/settings. Quality KACTUS performs strict quality control testing on all our products including endotoxin levels. We also have facilities compatible with U.S. FDA cGMP guidelines to produce GMP-grade material. Our GMP-level partnerships are designed to provide you with routine bulk supply of material and supporting documentation to bring you from the R&D stage to commercial manufacturing and regulatory submission.
