From lab to manufacturing, the BioSC™ chromatography systems enable batch and multiple multi-column processes (parallel batch, continuous chromatography/process) resulting in Process Intensification. The BioSC™ is a groundbreaking solution for the purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), blood fractions and other biologics:
- Adaptability: operations from 1 column up to 6 columns in batch, parallel batch, continuous chromatography or integrated process
- Easy switch from batch to continuous, optimizing process parameters with BioSC™ Predict software
- Reduction of resin and buffer by up to 75%
- Increased productivity by 2 to 6-fold
You want to know by how much it could improve your process? Ask our experts for a simulation!
Depending on molecule properties (size, charge, hydrophobicity, biorecognition), our product ranges allow for several purification techniques:
- Reverse Phase Chromatography (RP HPLC),
- Normal Phase Chromatography (NP HPLC),
- Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC),
- Ion Exchange Chromatography (Anion and Cation) (IEX),
- Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC),
- Affinity Chromatography (AC).
A Market in Continuous Evolution
MAbs, insulin, blood fractionation, recombinant proteins, vaccines and viral vectors demand innovative technologies and bring new challenges:
- Continuous processes (perfusion …) and high titer feed (fed-batch) are more and more developed in USP. DSP is now becoming the bottleneck of biopharmaceutical processes.
- Large volumes of buffer and high priced media required, long process times, target protein degradation.
- Process intensification, flexibility of equipment, CAPEX reduction, smaller footprint.
- Time-to-market with lower costs at the same quality (biosimilars)
- Environmental challenges (buffer reduction, waste treatment…)
- High-value blood proteins…
A precursor in continuous process improvement
Novasep has worked on continuous chromatography and has built the largest FDA-audited continuous chromatography platform at commercial scale. To adapt to the current biopharma challenges, Novasep is committed to delivering expertise in continuous chromatography, know-how by developing the state-of-the-art BioSC™ Sequential Chromatography platform.

Predict your future!
BioSC™ Predict is the unique simulation and optimization software for the development of continuous chromatography processes dedicated to the purification of biopharmaceuticals.
It is a process development accelerator enabling any scientist to start developing continuous chromatography processes even without prior knowledge.
With a few clicks, the user can switch from batch chromatography to an optimized continuous chromatography process, ready to be tested on the BioSC™ Lab equipment.
Don't miss your chance to get your own copy of the BioSC™ Predict Lite, available in a Lite version for you.
In addition to the standard chromatography sensors (pH, UV, conductivity), BioSC™ also features extra sensors (flowmeter, pressure, temperature) for PAT approach.
BioSC™ control software enables user-friendly, secure and traceable production compliant with FDA recommendations for PAT approach implementation:
- Multi-level access control
- Advanced recipe editor for multi-step approach
- Real-time monitoring of all process parameters
Upon request, the operating software can be connected to other databases or Distributed Control Systems (DCS) (Delta V).
