ILC Dover brings a unique history and skill set to the biopharmaceutical industry, particularly single use biopharmaceutical powder handling and containment equipment.

The Emphaze Hybrid Purifier is a new single-use clarifying device containing a multi-mechanism all synthetic Q-functional anion exchange media integrated with a fine particle, bioburden reduction membrane. The anion exchange media is comprised of a quaternary amine hydrogel supported by a fine fiber nonwoven scaffold. A combination of 3M technology platforms enables the hyperfunctionalization of a high purity polypropylene nonwoven with a covalently attached, thermally stable, water soluble polymer; the functional polymer accounts for roughly two-thirds of the mass of the anion exchange media. The bioburden reduction membrane is a highly asymmetric, high loading capacity polyamide membrane which has nine zones of decreasing pore size spanning a roughly 20X range and terminating with a 0.2 μm bioburden reduction rated pore size.

The Avanti J-30I High-Performance Centrifuge System gives you the fastest separations possible - in the shortest amount of time. Swinging-bucket and fixed-angle rotors provide maximum separation forces in excess of 100,000 x g at speeds up to 30,000 rpm.
Complement your gene expression analysis with LOH studies. Confirm your SNP analysis results by sequencing. Combine MLPA genomic results with quantitative gene expression for the full story.
Recirculating hollow fiber systems have been used for a long time with mixed results. The recurring problem with these and all other cell retention systems is the difficulty in scaling up and staying sterile.

Bio-Simplex™ Sterile Disposable Centrifuge Tubes are ready-to-use cost-effective single-use containers designed for general biopharmaceutical manufacturing applications such as preculture and sampling. 

The DoverPac® Bag In/Bag Out (BIBO) containment system is a family of contained transfer designs for multiple processes. The primary components for this validated operation consist of multiple groove canisters, docking interface hardware, and softgoods in either continuous liner form or discreet liners.

Capto Core 700 is a multimodal chromatography medium designed for purification of large proteins or viruses in vaccine processes.
