Ecolab Life Sciences has launched an innovative new resin 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.

This facility supports biopharma customers with applications and process development for biotherapeutic molecule purification, offering technical support from small-scale to full commercial production. Equipped with high-throughput process development tools and manufacturing scale chromatography columns, the lab helps biotech firms optimize processes and reduce costs. This new lab complements Ecolab’s existing European Applications and Research & Development Lab in Wales, UK.

Ecolab Inc., the world’s water, hygiene, and infection prevention company, today announced a further expansion of its Purolite business with the addition of a new biologics resin manufacturing facility in Landenberg, Pennsylvania.

Purolite UK has kicked off the year by announcing Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre in Cardiff as its inaugural UK Charity of the Year for 2022.

Purolite's Praesto range of agarose-based chromatography resins move into the commercial manufacturing of FDA-approved biotherapeutics.
