An apparatus for the storage of a protein (20) comprising a first compartment (30) for storing the protein (20) and a second compartment (40) for storing an alkaline buffer (50), the second compartment (40) being in fluid communication with the first compartment (30) is described. In one preferential embodiment of the invention, the alkaline buffer comprises calcium ions which encourage the gelling of the protein (20). A method for the storage of a protein (20) is also described. The method comprises: a first step of placing the protein in a first storage compartment (30); a second step of exposing the protein (20) to an alkaline buffer (50); and a third step of maintaining the protein (20) in the alkaline atmosphere in the first storage compartment (30).

L'invention concerne un appareil de stockage de protéine (20). Cet appareil comprend un premier compartiment (30) permettant de stocker la protéine (20), et un deuxième compartiment (40) permettant de stocker un tampon alcalin (50), le deuxième compartiment (40) étant en communication fluidique avec le premier compartiment (30). Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le tampon alcalin comprend des ions calcium qui favorisent la gélification de la protéine (20). L'invention concerne également un procédé de stockage d'une protéine (20). Ce procédé comprend: une première étape consistant à placer la protéine dans un premier compartiment de stockage (30); une deuxième étape consistant à exposer la protéine à un tampon alcalin (50); et une troisième étape consistant à maintenir la protéine (20) dans l'atmosphère alcaline dans ledit premier compartiment de stockage (30).
