Product Recovery and Purification

Achieving fully-integrated biomanufacturing

Our recovery and purification methods help realize a product in a specification that is amenable to real-world applications.

Our methods include:

Continuous centrifugation
Multiple tangential flow membrane filtration systems
Counter-current chromatography
Simulated moving bed chromatography
Liquid-liquid extraction system
Distillation
