Since its foundation in 2003, Orla Protein Technologies has built a solid reputation in the Life Sciences Industry through cutting-edge research and a commitment to innovation. We focus upon recombinant protein design, engineering and manufacture particularly for surface applications.

Our expertise and technology platform enables us, and our customers, to overcome the limitations of traditional methods of protein immobilisation and to truly harness the power of protein engineering. We enable improved performance, efficient manufacture, reproducibility, reliability, and ultimately, superior products.

We provide technology, products and bespoke contract services to companies and researchers. Our patented protein engineering platform, OrlaSURF, can be readily transferred, and is used commercially in a diverse range of Life Science applications such as bioanalytical devices, cell culture, bioseparations, and assay development.

Orla is continually seeking new partnerships and collaborations with the aim of developing new products, improving existing products and processes, and discovering new commercial opportunities. We work closely with our partners to engineer customised, optimised protein technology to achieve their technical and business aims.

We are a proud member of the BioIndustry Association, Bionow, and PSL Pivotal Scientific Ltd, and have partners including Newcastle University, Newcastle University Medical School, University of Leeds, Durham University and others.
