Mumbai, Jan 10 : Arch Pharmalabs said it has signed a Technology Access and Services Agreement with Orochem Technologies Inc to use the latter’s proprietary Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) platform for pharmaceutical and other applications.
SMB technology is a highly engineered process for implementing chromatographic separation. It is used to separate one chemical compound or one class of chemical compounds from one or more other chemical compounds to provide significant quantities of the purified or enriched material, more cost effectively than obtained using simple (batch) chromatography.
SMB technology provides for the “highest purities” of industrial or “metric ton” scale purification for API’s, nutritional supplements, fatty acids and specialty sugars.
Arch Pharmalabs Ltd is a Mumbai headquartered company. It has multiple USFDA approved facilities with multiple chemistry capabilities from kilogram to multi-ton scale.
Orochem specializes in chromatography products and services covering lab products to commercial scale SMB products.(UNI)
