Grace Introduces New Flash Chromatography System

Grace Davison Discovery Sciences expands the company’s REVELERIS® product portfolio with the introduction of a new flash purification system for use by pharmaceutical and agribusiness researchers. The new system streamlines the purification of new molecular entities and natural products.

It was specifically designed for customers whose higher productivity needs and small sample sizes are not addressed by current flash technology. By incorporating leading-edge technology, the new system will aid researchers in overcoming significant purification challenges.

Productivity gains of the newest system are realized through the integration of RevealXTM detection technology and enhanced system software. Advanced optimization features within the software speed separation and deliver optimal separation guidance needed by discovery scientist. Ideal for the purification and isolation of smaller amounts of components from mixtures, the system streamlines flash purification with enhanced turnkey operation.

The system is also equipped with REVELERIS® SRC™ cartridges that use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and a new higher pressure rating to improve purification by maximizing system resolution, sample loading and recovery, also the REVELERIS® SRC cartridges are inverted on the system to overcome channeling and voiding.

“Grace has a long-standing commitment to continuous innovation and improved productivity,” commented Joanne Green, General Manager and Vice President of Grace Davison Discovery Sciences. “Our new REVELERIS® system uses technological advances that reduce purification times and increase sample purity, which helps our customers streamline their discovery processes and bring important drugs to market more quickly.”

The REVELERIS® suite of products was initially introduced in 2009 and quickly won industry accolades, including the 2009 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine.

The new system will be spotlighted by Grace at the 2010 Pittcon Conference & Expo from February 28 to March 5, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. The conference is one of the largest gatherings for the analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy industry that attracts nearly 20,000 worldwide attendees. Deliveries of the new system to customers will begin mid-year 2010.
