St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 14, 2012 -- The Natrix platform is the first ever chromatography system that is truly single-use and disposable. It features significant advantages in process productivity, flexibility and cost for bind-elute capture and flow-through purification applications. At Gallus, Natrix technology enables the achievement of a completely single-use manufacturing operation.
Natrix Separations SVP Product Development, Howie Honeyman, commented, “Natrix is thrilled to work closely with Gallus on the scale-up of the Natrix Advective™ Chromatography platform for cGMP settings. The exceptional combination Gallus’ expertise and Natrix’s unique chromatographic process tools will provide exciting long-term benefits for Gallus and their customers.”
Paul Jorjorian, Gallus’ Purification Manager, was equally enthusiastic about the Natrix partnership, “The Natrix technology offers a cost-effective solution to debottleneck downstream processes by combining the selectivity and capacity of traditional chromatography at high flowrates. The technology promises to provide game-changing enhancements to the protein capture environment while also driving down the cost of flow-through purification steps.”
