Synkera's newest asymmetric membrane product line features controlled pore sizes at <5 nm.  This is the ideal size range for separation of many proteins and other types of biomolecules.  The United States NIH has provided Synkera several grants to develop this technology, with the result of products being introduced at the beginning of 2010.  Features of our membranes that are relevant to bioseparations:

• sharp and controllable molecular weight cut-off (MWCO)
• low fouling
• customizable pore sizes, from several hundred nanometers to less than 5 nm
• robust pore architecture, non-deformable.
• modifiable surface chemistry:  minimize fouling, increase flux, multi-modal separations.

We are actively developing new applications for these membranes. They are appropriate for:

• small-scale lab science (low-cost consumables)
• biomanufacturing components
• pharmaceutical research and manufacturing
• replacement to size exclusion chromatography (SEC)

Please see our Ultrafiltration data sheet for more information.
