Industry news

Tosoh Bioscience LLC, a supplier of separation and purification products and technologies to the life sciences industry, has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Semba Biosciences, a privately held Wisconsin company. Semba Biosciences is a leading innovator in the field of multi-column chromatography (MCC) instrumentation and technology for downstream purification of biologics.

Ali Soleymannezhad, VP global marketing and business development of Tosoh Bioscience LLC said, “We are thrilled to welcome the Semba Biosciences team to the Tosoh family. For long we have admired Semba’s technology and innovation, pioneering the Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology in the biopurification processes. Since our first equity investment back in 2018, the company has successfully hit every product development milestone set by Tosoh Bioscience and will soon be ready to launch the Octave® BIO System, a state-of-the-art benchtop MCC unit for bioprocess development, and ProGMP™, the most efficient MCC skid designed for larger-scale biological manufacturing. This marks a new era for Tosoh Bioscience and confirms our commitment to provide our customers with the latest solutions and technologies.”

“We are extremely pleased and excited to become part of the Tosoh Bioscience worldwide organization,” said Robert Mierendorf, Ph.D., president and CEO of Semba Biosciences. “By combining Semba Biosciences’ advanced Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology with Tosoh Bioscience’s best-in-class resins, we will be able to offer unparalleled efficiency and productivity in downstream processes and significantly decrease the cost of manufacturing.”

Tosoh Bioscience LLC is planning on expanding the current Semba team in Madison, WI, creating a global center of excellence for continuous chromatography.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Size Exclusion ChromatographySize exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a liquid chromatographic technique used to separate and identify molecules based on their size, including polymers, proteins, nanoparticles & nucleic acid. SEC is further subdivided into gel filtration chromatography (GFC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) when an aqueous or organic mobile phase is used respectively. HPLC-based SEC systems and columns are available for analytical separation alongside SEC spin columns or filters to prep samples for many protocols. Find the best size exclusion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Preparative ChromatographyPreparative chromatography equipment is used for purification purposes, separating and collecting compounds eluted from a mixture which can then be subsequently used for further purposes. This can be done in large quantities or small. Preparative chromatography systems are usually low to medium pressure liquid chromatographs that are semi-automated. Explore a range of preparative columns and fraction collectors. Find the best preparative chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ChromatographyChromatography is a powerful technique used to separate and analyze components of mixtures based on their chemical properties. It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best chromatography systems, compare products, read customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.BiologicsBiologics are medical products derived from living organisms, including vaccines, gene therapies, and monoclonal antibodies. These treatments are key to modern healthcare, especially in oncology and autoimmune diseases.
