What is behind our approach to EBA Chromatography?

The BTF EBA column is fed directly from a bioreactor with unclarified and undiluted biomass. Our unique single stage chromatography column produces pure product thereby doing away with the need for clarification, centrifugation, filtration, intermediate storage, packing to HETP-approved standard, air purification, etc. resulting in:

Double the yield
A third of the processing time
A Tenth of the space

The Process

Fill column with EBA media

Equilibrate with buffer and expand bed

Load unclarified biomass

Wash 1 remove HCP's and DNA

Wash 2 remove further bound species

Elute product in concentrated solution

Clean in place the EBA media
