Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) Chromatography: Unlocking Efficiency in Separation and Purification

Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) technology revolutionizes chromatographic separation by offering continuous purification with remarkable advantages over traditional batch methods. Here’s why SMB deserves the spotlight:

1. Continuous Purity: SMB ensures consistent product quality by continuously separating chemical compounds. Unlike batch chromatography, which can be time-consuming and costly, SMB achieves desired product purity efficiently.
2. Less Solvent Consumption: By optimizing solvent usage, SMB reduces environmental impact and operational costs. It’s a greener alternative for industrial chemical production.
3. Higher Throughput: SMB’s continuous flow design allows for increased production rates. Whether you’re extracting products from biorefinery fermentation or refining industrial chemicals, SMB delivers.
4. Carbon-Neutral Potential: SMB aligns with the quest for sustainable practices. Researchers are exploring its application in economically viable and environmentally friendly chemical production.

Here are couple of systems we offer:

SMB system for lab scale:

The AZURA Lab SMB System is optimized for the multicolumn separation of binary mixtures of small molecules in gram-scale. The SMB System A29101 is the standard stainless steel configuration of our AZURA Lab SMB. It consists of seven 8-multiposition valves and four AZURA P 4.1S included in four Assitants ASM 2.2L. The high pressure range as well as the flexibility of the multiposition valves make this system the perfect solution for SMB chromatography.
