GenScript Launches TurboCHO™ Protein Expression Kit, Delivering the Fastest Path to Antibodies in its Class

12.05.2026

New kit offers researchers and development teams a meaningful advance in expression speed and output

BOSTON, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GenScript Biotech Corporation announced the launch of TurboCHO™ Protein Expression Kit, a next-generation antibody expression reagent designed to set a new benchmark for speed, performance, output and ease-of-use. One of the company's largest global product launches to date, this kit targets the fast-growing expression reagent market, driven by high-throughput and AI-enabled research.

Introducing the TurboCHO™ Protein Expression Kit, a launchpad in every kit.

Producing research-grade antibodies and proteins is a foundational step in drug discovery and biologics development. The new kit brings GenScript's proven protein-expression technology directly to the bench in a ready-to-use format, enabling labs of any size to generate high‑quality protein in as little as five business days. As a result, researchers can access reliable data sooner and make earlier, more confident decisions.

"TurboCHO™ Protein Expression Kit delivers outstanding performance and unmatched value, putting powerful innovation within reach of every lab working to advance science," said GenScript's Rotating CEO Sherry Shao. "By providing a launchpad to market, this kit helps bring new medicines to patients' faster, when time matters most."

The product debuted yesterday at the opening of the PEGS Summit in Boston, but attendees will have opportunities throughout the week to learn more and engage with the GenScript team. The Protein Expression Kit is available in two configurations:

  • Pro: Delivers high-yield protein expression in as little as 5 business days, designed for easy integration into existing workflows.
  • Prime (Licensed): Enhanced performance for teams seeking maximum speed, with results as early as Day 3 and even higher yields.

Early Feedback Supports Real-World Impact

Early adopters in the beta program have reported performance that is "best in class" for speed and value, demonstrating its real-world impact.

Performance Snapshot: How the Kit Compares

  • Redefines expression speed, providing Day 5 yields (or Day 3 for Prime) comparable to competitor Day 10 results, substantially shortening timelines and accelerating decision-making
  • Delivers higher yields with lower reagent input, improving overall cost efficiency and throughput
  • Produces up to three-fold higher yield (or 5-fold for Prime) after Protein A purification versus other market solutions
  • Features a proprietary highperforming cell line and optimized transfection system

_________________________________________________________________________________

For drug developers and research teams managing increasingly compressed discovery timelines, this performance translates into faster candidate selection, reduced time-to-data, and the capacity to validate more candidates as they move into experimental testing.

The launch represents the first phase of a broader innovation roadmap designed to drive continued industry leadership, with planned advances spanning next‑generation CHO cell line enhancements, improved transfection systems, and scalable, automation‑ready formats.

"By delivering higher-quality antibody expression with dramatically faster time-to-data, we are eliminating a critical bottleneck in drug discovery," said Ray Chen, President of GenScript Life Science Group. "Designed for today's complex molecules, this kit ensures reproducibility and seamless screen-to-scale translation, while enabling more designs to be tested at lower cost. For research teams working under aggressive discovery timelines, the real question isn't whether to adopt this solution. It's how quickly they choose to leverage it to redefine what's possible."

TurboCHO™ Protein Expression Kit is available immediately through GenScript's direct sales channels and authorized distributors. To support early adoption, GenScript is offering introductory pricing for a limited time, along with technical support for onboarding and workflow optimization. Inventory is in place to support both domestic and international demand. For more information or pricing, visit the GenScript website.

Hamburg investiert 1,2 Milliarden Euro in Neuaufstellung der BG Kliniken

12.06.2026

Die BG Kliniken und das Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) treiben eine umfassende Neuordnung der stationären Versorgung in der Hansestadt voran. Kern des Vorhabens sind zwei Neubauten und eine deutlich engere Verzahnung beider Einrichtungen, insbesondere in der Behandlung von Schwerstverletzten. Grundlage bilden Absichtserklärungen, die von Senat, Bezirksvertretern und Klinikverantwortlichen unterzeichnet und im Hamburger Rathaus vorgestellt wurden. Insgesamt sollen mehr als 1,2 Milliarden Euro investiert werden, finanziert aus Mitteln der gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung.

Herzstück des Projekts ist ein neuer Standort des BG Klinikums Hamburg auf dem Campus des UKE in Eppendorf. Das Haus zur Versorgung von Schwerstverletzten wird baulich mit einem geplanten Erweiterungsbau des UKE verbunden. In diesem UKE-Neubau sind unter anderem ein Krebszentrum sowie eine erweiterte Notfallaufnahme vorgesehen. Hamburgs Erster Bürgermeister Peter Tschentscher (SPD) verweist auf die erwarteten Synergien: Es gelte, Spitzenmedizin so zu organisieren, dass sie zugleich medizinisch führend und wirtschaftlich tragfähig sei – ein Vorteil nicht nur für Hamburg, sondern für den gesamten norddeutschen Raum.

Parallel dazu soll der bestehende Standort des BG Klinikums in Hamburg-Bergedorf grundlegend neu ausgerichtet werden. In einem Neubau mit rund 350 Betten sind ein neues Querschnittgelähmten-Zentrum, Einrichtungen für die Frührehabilitation und weitere Reha-Angebote sowie ein sportmedizinisches Zentrum geplant. Der Standort soll sich auf die Versorgung von Menschen mit Rückenmarksverletzungen und auf fachübergreifende Rehabilitation konzentrieren. Ergänzt werden die Strukturen durch ein medizinisches Versorgungszentrum mit Notfallangeboten. Das dortige Luftrettungszentrum und die Rettungswache bleiben nach den bisherigen Plänen bestehen.

Politik und Klinikleitungen sehen in der Verdichtung der Angebote an den zwei Standorten eine Stärkung der regionalen Versorgungslandschaft. Die Gesundheitsversorgung im Hamburger Osten soll ausgebaut, gleichzeitig der Eppendorfer Campus als Knotenpunkt für Spitzenmedizin, Forschung, Lehre und Weiterbildung profiliert werden. Wissenschaftssenatorin Maryam Blumenthal spricht von optimalen Bedingungen für Fächer wie Unfallchirurgie, Traumatologie und muskuloskelettale Medizin. Zusammen mit Ausbauschritten in umliegenden Häusern, etwa der Zentralen Notaufnahme des Agaplesion Bethesda Krankenhauses Bergedorf, entsteht ein Netz zusätzlicher Kapazitäten für die wachsende Bevölkerung der Metropolregion.
