When working on protein purification, I’ve noticed something interesting: Scaling from a small test prep to bulk quantities isn’t just “more of the same.” It’s a whole new game with unexpected roadblocks. i) Expression yield might suddenly drop. ii) Columns clog. iii) Protein stability becomes unpredictable. iv) Even storage turns into a science experiment. I’m kicking off a series on protein purification challenges as a conversation in ResearchGate and also in LinkedIn. I would like to know more about real-world hurdles that my peers have been facing and brainstorm solutions together with them, other experienced researchers and those just stepping into this space. Whether it’s about equipment limitations, buffer prep headaches, stability issues, or something else entirely. Please share it in the comments. Let’s see what patterns emerge, and maybe we can solve a few of them along the way.
