Application

Ethylene Glycol EMPROVE® Evolve meets the increasing quality requirements of the biopharma industry for cleaning and storage of protein A resin in downstream processes.
This chemical is used in the downstream process for the cleaning and storage of protein A resin.

Features and Benefits

Ethylene Glycol Emprove® Evolve cleaning and storage chemical can increase the lifetime of our Eshmuno® A resin as well as other protein A resins.

Packaging

Packsizes:
  • 1376661000: 1 L
  • 1376669025: 25 L
  • 1376669950: 950 L

Other Notes

More than 100% increase in column lifetime was achieved using a mixture of 20 % Ethylene Glycol and 0.1M NaOH solution. As a comparison, using traditional 0.1M solution resulted in an 80 % drop after just 250 cycles compared to an impressive 600 cycles using Ethylene Glycol Emprove® Evolve and 0.1M NaOH solution.
