Product news

Upfront Chromatography A/S, the world’s leading developer of customised industrial-scale separation services, has announced the launch of its new website. The website has been totally re-designed to make it easier for customers to access relevant information across two distinctive application areas:

  • Biomine - Customised separation services for the isolation of high-value functional proteins from industrial process streams.
  • Bioprocess - Customised cGMP-compliant separation services for isolation of high-quality efficacious biopharmaceuticals.

The company has built a strong reputation as one of the leading providers of separation services for isolation of food ingredients, industrial enzymes, nutraceuticals and healthcare products from industrial process streams. Upfront is currently developing the world’s largest chromatography installation for AVEBE for the extraction of high-quality functional proteins for use in food and healthcare, from the side-stream of potato starch production.

Significant investment by Upfront has led to the development of its Rhobust™ technology for bioprocessing: a significant bottleneck in the biopharmaceutical industry. The technology has been proven to enable recovery of efficacious monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins and other biomolecules directly from blood plasma or bioreactors, up to commercial-scale.

“The new identity and website constitutes an important step forward in the growth of Upfront”, commented Anders Weber, CEO of Upfront Chromatography. “As the Company develops both its technology and markets it is important that we continue to offer our customers the highest level of service with both technical and regulatory support to achieve their separation goals.”

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.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.

Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.
