Capto S, Capto Q and Capto DEAE are, respectively, strong cation, strong anion and weak anion exchange media for packed bed chromatography that increase speed and throughput in capture and intermediate purification.

Mixed-mode chromatography resin is a top tier selection for the manipulation, purification and handling of molecules; providing an unmatched level of separation properties and resolution. The combination of cation exchange resin and metal affinity resin properties, allows multimodal chromatography to provide an access route for biomolecules to separate and the use of alternative chromatographic methods make these biomolecules seem homogenous.

AseptiQuik® STC Connectors integrate the AseptiQuik® sterile connector and the Steam-Thru® II SIP connector, giving manufacturers even greater flexibility for hybrid stainless steel and single-use processing. 

Encompassing two leading-edge processes, multi-zone microporous membrane construction and Advanced Pleating Technolog (APT) design, LifeASSURE™ PSA Series filters offer robust 0.20 and 0.10 micron absolute-rated filtration and exceptionally long service life.

This is an exciting platform technology for cell cultivation. It is a highly versatile process which permits great increases in cell and product concentrations as compared to Fed Batch processing.

3M Purification's core filtration technologies address the most demanding applications in pharmaceutical processing for small molecule and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) applications.

Nuvia HR-S media is a new strong cation exchanger that has been optimized for particle size and chemistry that provides exceptional resolution and high recovery.

Agilent's GeneSpring GX software provides powerful, accessible statistical tools for fast visualization and analysis of transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics data.
