Intensified and Continuous Downstream Processing

Gain operational efficiency and flexibility while reducing footprint and costs


Looking to increase your downstream process efficiency?

Transformation of the biomanufacturing workflow is being accelerated by the demand for new therapeutics combined with the need to reduce costs while ensuring operational flexibility and productivity.

Process intensification, closed, and continuous bioprocessing are foundational strategies for achieving these goals. They are widely and successfully deployed in the downstream suite to be more efficient, faster, smaller, less expensive, and sustainable.

To help biopharmaceutical manufacturers intensify, closing, digitally-enhance, or go fully continuous with their processes and gain new levels of operational efficiency and flexibility, there are multiple levers within the DSP suite.

Capture Chromatography

The capture chromatography step is not only a significant contributor to costs, but it can be a bottleneck in the overall DSP (downstream processing) workflow. This downstream purification step can be optimized using continuous multi-column chromatography which considerably reduces the volume and associated cost of Protein A resin required while increasing productivity of the mAb process.

Protein A resins with high binding capacity, superior flow capability, reusability, and a low cost of goods are also essential for process intensification. 

  • Mobius® Multi Column Capture System, a fully automated, single-use 3-column system for continuous closed capture chromatography of your fed-batch or perfusion bioprocess.
  • Eshmuno® A Resin, a rigid, high-capacity Protein A affinity chromatography resin that can be cleaned and sanitized under acid and alkaline conditions while maintaining high dynamic binding capacity at high flow rates.
