Project Description:
Membrane Works of Raleigh received $350,000 to support efforts to develop high-capacity nonwoven membrane chromatography devices for biopharmaceutical purification. The technology achieves resin-level binding capacity at 20x higher productivity through convection-driven transport, eliminating costly Protein A ligands. This project will design, produce, and validate devices for antibody and gene therapy purification.
