Single-stage clarification with chromatographic capture

Applying chromatographic principles to cell clarification can consolidate multi-step harvest operations into a single stage. This approach can affect loading capacity, impurity clearance, operational complexity, and process economics in recombinant protein production.

Can drug platforms keep up with complex molecules?

As molecular complexity increases, traditional manufacturing platforms face emerging scalability and efficiency constraints. Advances in separation science are being reconsidered to support multiple modalities while  maintaining efficient and scalable downstream operations.

Single-use chromatographic clarification of CHO cell harvest

Single-stage chromatographic clarification using Harvest RC Chromatographic Clarifier is an alternative to three-step filtration trains for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell harvest. Through process compression, this approach has been shown to reduce process cost by 17%–30%.
