ABOUT W.L. GORE & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Traditional affinity chromatography technology has not kept pace with increased titers and other upstream process improvements, leading to bottlenecks and lower productivity in downstream purification. To gain flow and shorten processing times, traditional resin-based Protein A is often over-sized or underutilized – simply to keep up.

GORE Protein Capture Devices with Protein A utilize a unique membrane solution that provides a binding capacity advantage at high flow rates and improves the speed of purification versus traditional technologies. The GORE Protein Capture Device scales across sizes without compromising binding capacity or speed and is available is sizes for early drug discovery screening, late stage optimization, process development, and GMP clinical applications.
