Because there are no living cells, experimental conditions such as pH, ionic strength, redox environment, DNA concentration, cofactors, and additives can be directly tuned without affecting cell viability. This enables rapid optimization and prototyping of genetic constructs. Additionally, CFPS is significantly faster, allowing protein production within hours instead of requiring cell growth, transformation, and induction steps.Hugoen
