Novasep Has Extended Its Custom Chiral Separation Capabilities To Offer Optimized And Efficient Purification Solutions To Its Life Science Customers

Novasep, a global leader in advanced separation technologies, has recently added a state-of-the-art cGMP pilot scale continuous chromatography unit in its Chasse sur Rhone (France) facility. This ensures cost efficient separations of kilograms to tens of kilograms of pure enantiomer for clinical supplies.

Today, Novasep operates six FDA-inspected facilities that manufacture APIs and advanced intermediates. Four of them integrate chiral separation services from preclinical to commercial supply. Novasep now operates ten pilot and commercial scale HPLC units, eight pilot and commercial scale Varicol® systems (continuous chromatography systems) for producing batches up to 1 metric ton with a total capacity of more than 150 metric tons per annum.

This investment expands Novasepís chiral separation capabilities. The fully operational plant includes a Varicol® 8- 80 unit, using 5 to 8 columns of 80mm i.d. and incorporates the latest PAT-compliant advanced control technology.

Novasep, the world leader in preparative chromatography and the pioneer in continuous chromatography, was equipped with multiple HPLC and Varicol® systems.íí commented RenÈ de Vaumas, Vice-President Exclusive Synthesis. With this new investment we are filling a gap in our service offerings. We are now extremely competitive for producing clinical batches of chiral compounds quality wise, time wise and cost wise.

Rene de Vaumas added This addition follows our recent investments in three cGMP multi-step synthesis kilo-labs. Our customers will benefit from Novasepís continued commitment to improve and adapt its custom manufacturing capabilities to their evolving needs. "

About Novasepís Varicol reg 8-80
Novasepís new Varicol 8-80 is a compact industrial continuous chromatography system. It only requires 2 to 3 kgs of CSP (Chiral Stationary Phase) to produce up to 100 kgs of desired enantiomer in a few weeks. It incorporates full solvent recycling, and ensures straightforward scale-up to industrial units for late stage and commercial production. The Advanced Control System (ACS) ensures automatic control to enable users to get quantitative pure product recovery, and to maximise productivity with optimum process robustness.
