Check out the PREP 2017 Oral Scientific Program

Don't miss the cutting-edge presentations on emerging applications and processes in all areas of Preparative and Process Chromatography.

The Scientific Oral Program includes 72 oral papers covering all areas of preparative and process chromatography. 55% of the papers are from industry and 45% from academia. 69% address biomolecules, including monoclonal antibodies and other non-mAb therapeutic proteins, antibody fragments, protein charge variants, virus, VLPs, and cells, and 31% address small molecules, including APIs, peptides, chiral molecules, sugars, and natural products. Chromatographic modalities include RP-HPLC, IEC, HIC, MMC, SEC, affinity, small-scale prep for drug discovery, development and manufacture, SMB and other multicolumns chromatography systems, SFC, CPC/CCC, membrane chromatography, and monoliths. The program includes sessions dedicated to new, improved, and innovative stationary phases, sessions focused on understanding and modeling molecule-surface interactions, as well as sessions dedicated to advances in modeling and optimizing chromatographic processes. Countries represented include Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, Germany, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US.
