Waters and Daiso have entered into a collaborative agreement to globally market and supply Daisogel bulk packaging materials for process chromatography.
The combined purification expertise of both organisations will aid pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies as they move from laboratory-scale purifications into pilot plant and process-scale manufacturing.
To simplify scaling-up purification methods, Daisogel columns are packed using Waters' Optimum Bed Density (OBD) technology.
OBD technology is said to enable analytical column performance and best lifetime in larger preparative columns.
Scientists will save time by eliminating the need for subsequent method redevelopment as they increase in scale.
Daiso's quality control system is based on ISO 9001 and has met the quality requirements of global pharmaceutical companies.
The company also has a DMF (Drug Master File) on file with the US Food and Drug Administration for the Daisogel packing materials.
