11## Overview
13End-to-end automated expression and purification of StrepII-tagged proteins in 100 uL CFPS reactions, followed by StreptactinXT magnetic bead purification and A280 quantification. The catalog mentions 20-hour expression and LabChip, but the service terms describe typical 4-16-hour reactions and promise A280 yield/reporting without a LabChip deliverable. Confirm incubation and readout scope in the order; choose the [A280 + LabChip tier](cfps-expression-purification-quantification.md) when purity/size data are required.
