Fast, robust chromatography for proteins, viral vectors and nucleic acids.
MonoCore™ modified cellulose monoliths combine convective transport with open 15 µm channels — short runs at low pressure, and a structure that copes with demanding feeds. Anion and cation exchange, HIC and affinity, ready to connect to the FPLC system you already run.

Three bottlenecks MonoCore™ is built to remove.
Packed beds hit a pressure wall.
Transport through open channels is convective, so runs stay short and pressure stays low — at flow rates a packed bed cannot reach within its pressure limit.
Convective vs diffusive transport →Media clog on demanding feeds.
Packed beds, membrane adsorbers and fibre-based media all push the feed through narrow flow paths — and that is where demanding feeds block. MonoCore™ ships with 15 µm open channels, well above the published 3.5 µm threshold below which large plasmids start to clog.
Why channel size matters →New media means re-skidding.
Standard UNF 10/32 fittings. MonoCore™ capsules connect to the FPLC system your team already runs — no custom hardware.

How do you read a dynamic binding capacity figure?
A DBC number without its conditions is not a number. The seven conditions that have to match before two figures can be compared, why bed height matters as much as residence time, the arithmetic mistake that overstates capacity by ten per cent — and when it is worth measuring on your own feed.

How do you elute from Protein A without acid?
Nine routes away from low-pH elution — and only three of them remove the acid entirely. Mild-elution ligands at pH 4.3–5.0, amino-acid and arginine buffers, glycols, salt and calcium systems, detergents, alternative ligands, mixed-mode capture, and light-controlled release at neutral pH (Solaris® Protein A, Beta). What each one costs, and where each one stops.

How do you remove aggregates with a HIC monolith?
How hydrophobic interaction works in a monolith, when bind-and-elute beats flow-through, how Butyl and Phenyl differ — on MonoCore™ HIC with 15 µm channels in 1.8 and 5.4 mL — and where the format does not help.
