MonoCore™ Platform

Resin chemistry. Membrane hydraulics. One matrix.

MonoCore™ radial-flow cellulose monoliths combine the throughput of convective membranes with the chemistry breadth and resolving power of packed-bed resins. Drop-in compatible with your FPLC.

Why MonoCore™

Capacity and resolution. In one matrix.

Membrane adsorbers gave the industry speed. Packed-bed resins gave it resolution. MonoCore™ delivers both — in a single cellulose monolith.

  • Resin-class
    Resolution

    Sharper peaks than convective membranes — at comparable binding capacities.

  • Membrane-class
    Throughput

    Low pressure drop and short cycle times — buffer consumption drops alongside.

  • Drop-in
    Compatibility

    Standard FPLC fittings, no re-skidding — fits into the equipment your team already runs.

How MonoCore™ works

The matrix is a hydrophilic cellulose backbone with intrinsically low non-specific adsorption. Geometry is a radial-flow disc that scales by stacking — pressure drop and residence-time distribution stay constant as throughput increases. Channel size is tunable from 5 to 100 µm; chemistries cover AEX, CEX, HIC, and affinity (Protein A, custom).

  • Low ΔP

    Pressure regime closer to membranes than to packed beds, even at high throughput.

  • Low void volume

    Sharper peaks, less product dilution, lower buffer consumption.

  • Predictable scale-up

    Pressure and flow profile stay consistent from lab to production — less method re-optimisation when you move volumes up.

  • Low fouling

    The open channel architecture stays clear even with complex feeds — fewer cleaning cycles and more reproducible runs at process scale.
