  • Publication number: 20260110009
    Abstract: A system for continuous manufacture of biomolecules includes feed tanks suitable for storing products and a reaction chamber designed to be fed with products from the feed tanks that form a reaction phase in the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber is designed to manufacture the biomolecules from the reaction phase. The system includes a scale tank in fluid communication with the reaction chamber, which is suitable for storing an immiscible phase, and a monitoring and control unit set to control the injection flow rate of the immiscible phase into the reaction chamber to keep constant a certain filling level of the reaction chamber according to the amount of reaction phase to be injected into the reaction chamber to manufacture a certain amount of biomolecules.

  • Publication number: 20260085089
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating a product of interest from impurities and an apparatus for performing the method. The method comprises the steps in the indicated order: (1) loading on a chromatography matrix a first volume of a feed solution comprising the product of interest and impurities; (2) contacting the chromatography matrix with an elution solution; (3) collecting a) optionally an elution fraction 1 (EF1) in a side fraction container (SFC), b) an elution fraction 2 (EF2) in a product container, and c) optionally an elution fraction 3 (EF3) in a SFC, wherein at least one of EF1 and EF3 is collected; (4) loading on a chromatography matrix EF1 and/or EF3 and a second volume of the feed solution simultaneously or subsequently. Steps (2) to (4) are repeated at least once, and the chromatography matrices of step (1) and (4) are the same or different.

  • Publication number: 20250065248
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purifying and enriching a target product selected from immunoglobulins or other proteins; or plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, RNA or other nucleic acids or viruses, wherein the measured electrical conductivity values and/or the measured turbidity values of the phases are used for adjusting the position of the phases in a separating device (10, 100) and for separating the phases. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method and to the use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220361541
    Abstract: Suggested is an extract of Persea, in particular Persea americana (Avocado) comprising at least 90 wt.-percent avocado polyols and preferably at least 95 wt.-percent avocadene, obtainable or obtained according to the following steps: (a) providing a source of Persea; (b) subjecting said source of Persea to an extraction step using organic solvents to obtain a first extract; (c) subjecting said first extract to saponification to obtain a second extract; (d) adding a source of calcium to said second extract to precipitate calcium soaps; (e) subjecting the product of step (d) to a separation step to obtain a third extract and said precipitated calcium salts; and optionally (f) subjecting said third extract to purification.
