Time-to-clinic and time-to-market are two key factors in successful biopharmaceutical development.
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.
Amsphere™ A3 is a next generation Protein A chromatography resin for advanced protein separation in downstream processing of therapeutic antibodies manufacturing. With high capacity resin, Amsphere™ A3 has an overall improved process robustness, flow characteristics, optimized impurity removal, productivity and resin lifetime.
