Biocatalysis is the use of natural catalysts, such as enzymes, to perform chemical transformations on organic compounds. Industrial biocatalysis makes use of enzymes in their free form or immobilized on a solid support. Immobilized enzymes are applied to a variety of applications providing the following benefits:

• Multiple reuse of the biocatalyst
• Easier separation of products
• Flexibility of reactor design
• Ability to operate in water or organic solvent media

Purolite Lifetech offers a variety of resins for covalent and adsorption immobilization for all kind of bioprocesses.
