Advanced Materials

Discover the innovations with emerging technologies

Advanced materials are high-value-added materials that consistently outperform standard materials, resulting in lighter products, have greater service temperature ranges, are multifunctional, or have higher life-cycle performance. The extra value is from more expensive components or a complex or complicated processing procedure.

Such processing must yield materials that meet both the geometry and property requirements of the application without deteriorating them.

As a result, control over processing details and near net shape technologies are becoming increasingly critical. In addition, advanced materials improve physical attributes such as weight, strength, malleability, and conductivity.

As a result, they have several applications in the industry and medical fields, and many sophisticated materials are subsets of broader groupings.

Emerging technologies are developing quickly as technology developers continue to discover and employ materials with unique or improved features that outperform conventional products and processes. These processes link with nanotechnology methodologies, piezoelectric techniques, recent advances in materials science, condensed matter physics, mechanics of deformable solids, and numerical methods. As a result, novel devices with high precision, lifespan, and extended capabilities to perform in wide temperature and pressure ranges, aggressive media, and more are receiving attention.

What is the significance of advanced materials?

Many value chains that serve cutting-edge applications benefit from advanced materials technology. The world recognises advanced and intelligent materials in a list of six technology sectors that promise to enable, protect, and drive future industrial activity. But, of course, a substantial portion of our future goods and services is unknown. Still, essential technologies such as nanotechnology, micro-and nanoelectronics, semiconductors, sophisticated materials, biotechnology, and photonics will drive future development.

The most important facts are as follows:

  • Material advancements to improve health and quality of life,
  • Materials that aid in mitigating the effects of climate change,
  • Materials that promote clean mobility
  • Smart materials for a more resilient society and digitised industry.

They play a significant part in many sectors’ R&D, innovation, and cluster initiatives are critical to ensuring industries’ competitiveness in the knowledge economy.

The goal of advanced materials research is to discover the fundamental principles of chemistry, mathematics, and physics that may govern the properties of new materials, followed by the fabrication of materials or nanostructures for real-world applications. In addition, it entails understanding the conditions in which a material will employ and identifying candidate materials for a targeted purpose.

Ion Exchange Membrane

Ion exchange membranes adapt sorbent-based ion-exchange chromatography techniques to a flat stock membrane. This type provides advantages in terms of ease of use and handling in a production setting versus resin-based slurries. Our ion exchange membranes provide efficient and rapid flow rates with a convective pore structure, resulting in processing times that are far shorter and more efficient than current resin-based technologies, even when purifying big molecules like plasmids and viruses. Throughputs of up to 100 times that of typical resin-based media are greatly attributed to the optimisation of our ion exchange membranes, with no accompanying capacity loss.

We offer two ion-exchange membrane chemistries: Q and S. The strong anion exchange membrane (Q chemistry) is ideal for capturing and releasing plasmid DNA, viruses, or target proteins from a complex mixture. Q chemistry is also helpful for oligo purification and protein polishing of negatively charged proteins. On the other hand, positively charged proteins and viral particles are purified and concentrated using S chemistry.

Applications

  • Biomolecule capture
  • Plasmid preparation

Glass Fiber Media (Hydrophobic)

Hydrophobic glass fibre media is a glass fibre matrix and a high-performance binder cast on various support matrices. Cellulose, polyester, polypropylene, and woven glass cloth are the support matrices used. The materials are post-treated using a unique method that makes them both hydrophobic and oleophobic.

Hydrophobic glass fibre media can act as a vent filter in applications that require gas exchange while limiting the risk of airborne bacterial contamination. For example, a hydrophobic glass fibre medium allows air to enter and exit vessels like bioreactors, isolation or environmental chambers, fermentation tanks, carboys, and other tiny containers. On the other hand, hydrophobic glass fibre materials can be employed in-line for low-pressure air/gas delivery to instruments and culture tanks, significant isolation of a vacuum source, flushing instruments, and cleaning parts.

To offer a barrier to airborne microbiological pollutants, using a hydrophobic substance as a vent in finished devices and equipment is becoming increasingly important. In addition, the requirement to safeguard employees, patients, and equipment from dangerous aerosolised contaminants need adequate vent filtration. Hydrophobic glass fibre medium produces high airflow rates with sufficient filtering efficiency ratings cheaply.

Applications

  • Venting
  • Hydrophobic barrier

White Blood Cell Isolation (Leukosorb) Medium

Our unique White blood cell isolation (Leukocyte) medium is a highly wettable, fibrous matrix intended for use in operations requiring leukocyte isolation from whole blood samples. Whole blood samples can be applied to the membrane’s surface and pass through the filter matrix via gravity or pressure. When employing a pressured filtering system, take care not to lyse the red blood cells, resulting in hemoglobin pollution. Leukocytes are separated from whole blood samples as they pass through the membrane and become caught within the fibrous matrix of the membrane.

Assays involving filter effluent analysis or direct examination of trapped white blood cells contain the material. It is an excellent alternative for use in assays that may necessitate the removal of white blood cells from samples to reduce interferences. Several extractions and detection technologies are applicable if the assay needs the examination of leukocytes or nucleic acid components, depending on the assay requirements. The medium can trap leukocytes and extract nucleic acid samples, which can subsequently process for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications.

Applications

  • Leukocyte removal
  • Molecular diagnostics
  • DNA prep before PCR
