Proteins are fragile molecules that denature easily. They must be stored and handled in an environment that will maintain their  native  structure  to  ensure  their  stability  and  viability.   Proteins are complex molecules, thus their stability issues are complex.  The best stabilization conditions for one protein may not be the best for another, therefore, one stabilization method will not work effectively in all situations. SurModics has extensive experience in protein stabilization and offers a line of stabilization products to address various application requirements.
