CRN: Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine

Peptide Synthesis Core

About the Core

The Peptide Synthesis Core Facility at the Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine (CRN) is an award-winning, custom peptide resource for peptide-related research needs. Located on Northwestern University’s downtown Chicago campus, the facility is staffed with highly skilled scientists and equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation dedicated to the chemical synthesis, purification, and characterization of peptides and peptide materials. We provide standard and catalog peptides, and we excel in the synthesis of specialty custom peptides modified to fit specific research needs.

What We Do

We offer a comprehensive suite of services to support your peptide research, from initial consultation to final product delivery.

  • Project Consultation and Peptide Design: Unsure exactly what you need in your peptide? Our team offers consultation to assist in planning and designing the right peptide for your application.
  • Peptide Synthesis: We chemically synthesize peptides of varying lengths and scales, with modifications as needed to meet your specifications.
  • Purification and Analysis: We provide purification and analytical characterization (HPLC, MS, LCMS) of peptides to ensure our products are ready for your diverse research needs.
  • Training: In addition to our staff-run services, we provide training on manual solid phase peptide synthesis and open-access instrumentation including HPLC and mass spectrometers.
