Contichrom TWIN HPLC
YMC Contichrom® TWIN HPLC
Featuring patented MCSGP technology for enhanced yield and purity
The YMC Contichrom® TWIN HPLC system is designed around our two-column continuous process principle. This technology accelerates validation, simplifies maintenance, reduces costly down-time, and minimizes operating expenses.
In addition to the feature-rich standardized platform, YMC can provide customized solutions to address your specific needs. We employ a team of seasoned engineers, fabricators, and technicians to design and build every system – all under one roof.
What is MCSGP?
MCSGP (Multi-column Counter-current Solvent Gradient Purification) is a two-column process in which side fractions that contain impure product are internally (automatically) recycled in a periodic closed-loop process while pure product is continuously extracted. This eliminates the need for repeated chromatography and the associated time and resources for sampling and testing.
The result?
- Little product is lost
- Pure product yield is maximized without any accumulation of impurities
- Target purity is retained
