To achieve this mission, we have developed innovative process technologies that address some of the most pressing challenges in the manufacturing of diverse classes of biotherapeutics.

Today’s Medicines Are Being Produced with Yesterday’s Technologies

Over the past few decades, innovation in bioprocessing has been slow to non-existent, predominantly because of a reluctance to move away from the familiarity of chromatography derived from its widespread use in monoclonal antibody manufacturing.  Thus, innovation has been limited to changes targeting incremental improvements of these existing chromatography technologies.  The problem with this is that chromatography is not capable of meeting the purification demands of the growing diversity of the biological medicines of today and the future.

Disruptive Integrated Downstream Processing Platform

Enquyst’s patented Isoelectric Point Purification (IPP) technology is a flow-through purification technology that separates without relying on a target biomolecule’s interaction with a surface, matrix, or resin (e.g. resin-free).  Using only chemistry, physics, and fluid dynamics, the IPP technology isolates and purifies a target biomolecule by exploiting its true biophysical fingerprint, specifically, the combination of its isoelectric point, its charge heterogeneity in a complex mixture, and its molecular size.  Capitalizing on its flow-through nature, Enquyst’s IPP technology has demonstrated the ability to obtain ultra-high purity without yield loss.

A New Definition of Pure

Enquyst’s IPP technology enables ultra-high purity polishing of traditional biotherapeutics to create a new standard in purity.  Purity is no longer about %...it’s now about what species in a pure product are efficacious and which may cause undesired side effects.  This new level of purity has the ability to give new classes of life-changing therapies a viable path to the clinic.
