Before a new medication arrives on the market, it must be tested on animal models and in humans. In order to conduct these tests, a substantial amount of the therapeutically effective substances are needed -- such as proteins or nucleic acids, for example. Researchers in Germany are now presenting several processes with which biomolecules can be harvested quickly, robustly, reliably and with versatility.
