Biotage GO technology reduces solvent use by 60%
Biotage, a Swedish supplier of tools and technology for medicinal and analytical chemistry, has launched enhanced gradient optimisation (GO) technology for its Isolera flash purification product line, which it says can reduce solvent use and costs by 60% or more.
Biotage's GO capability allows researchers automatically to convert less efficient linear gradients to an optimised step gradient with the press of a button, according to Bob Bickler, senior product manager at Biotage.
Linear gradients typically use 13 or more column volumes of solvent, but the Isolera GO feature can reduce this to seven or even five, reducing solvent use by 60% or more.
