Grace granted Australian patent for flash chromatography technology
WR Grace & Co has announced that the Australian Patent Office has granted a patent related to the company’s Reveleris flash chromatography system.
The patent concerns the use of evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) with flash chromatography, which is a key component of the Reveleris flash chromatography system. The technology covered in the claim enables streamlined purification of new chemical/biological entities for drug discovery.
Grace previously announced receipt of similar US patents, which are generally directed to various aspects of flash chromatography using two kinds of detectors, such as ELSD and UV, to collect sample fractions. These techniques improve new molecule purification by increasing recovery, improving reliability and simplifying instrument operation.
According to Laurie Andriate, Vice President and General Manager Engineered Materials at Grace, the additional Australian patent “further confirms our global leadership in flash chromatography technology”.
