BIO 2025

Ecolab Life Sciences has launched a new resin designed to help achieve cost savings and optimize operations throughout the antibody manufacturing process. Purolite AP+50 is an affinity chromatography resin with a 50-micron bead size offering the highest dynamic binding capacity of the AP resin platform while providing excellent durability for monoclonal antibody capture. It also leverages Ecolab’s patented Jetted resin bead manufacturing technology, an innovative approach that enables lot-to-lot consistency and shorter lead times.

It is the latest addition to Ecolab’s robust Purolite Resin affinity toolbox, which helps biopharmaceutical companies and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations solve complex purification challenges.

“The ability to effectively improve process economics while maintaining purity is the gold standard of resin purification. As pharmaceutical and biotech companies seek to increase savings and improve business continuity, they are requiring innovative solutions to accelerate and de-risk manufacturing,” said Meeta Gulyani, senior vice president and general manager, Ecolab Bioprocessing. “Our resins are designed to help customers improve their product development platforms and implement next-generation manufacturing processes as well as enhance dual sourcing strategies that can reduce costs and bolster supply chains.”

The announcement of Ecolab’s latest resin follows news of the opening of its newest Bioprocessing Applications Lab in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
