New resins added to pre-pack chromatography columns

Merck Millipore has released three new chromatography resins for its Chromabolt prepacked columns. These pre-validated chromatography columns can come packed with either strong cation exchangers, weak cation exchangers or strong anion exchangers.

Designed for pilot and early clinical manufacturing, the three new resins available in the columns are Fractogel EMD SE Hicap (a strong cation exchanger), Fractogel EMD COO (a weak cation exchanger), and Eshmuno Q (a strong anion exchanger).

"The biopharmaceutical industry is in need of downstream processing solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate overall time to market," said Andrew Bulpin, Executive Vice President of Merck Millipore, Process Solutions. "Chromabolt prepacked chromatography columns have helped our customers streamline their early clinical-stage manufacturing by eliminating laborious packing requirements. Expanding our portfolio of available resins allows a greater number of biomanufacturers to leverage Chromabolt technology for different applications."

Merck Millipore says it will continue to add additional chromatography resins to the Chromabolt column portfolio over the next few years.
