products:
Functional Membranes:
ELI_CAP membranes combine the advantages of membrane technology (e.g. high porosity, low diffusion resistance, high convective mass transport) with various functionalities introduced by the ELIPSA technology. In this way ELI_CAP membranes allow efficient separation, purification and isolation of diverse (bio)molecules by means of solid phase extraction, ionic exchange and specific affinity chromatography.
Surface functionalization of various membrane types, e.g. microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and capillary pore membranes, composed of different base materials, particularly poly(ether)sulphone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polypropylene, polyamide, and polyester allow custom-made solutions.
Adjusted pore structure, density of functional groups, and optimized hydrophilicity enable maximum performance either with respect to binding capacity (reversible or covalent) or volumetric through-put.
company profile:
ELIPSA GmbH was founded in September 1999 as a company for the development, production and marketing of polymeric materials with functional surfaces for applications in lifesciences and biotechnology. The founders of ELIPSA are chemists and biochemists with large experience from successful scientific work and its commercial utilization. ELIPSA's main competence in the areas of polymer chemistry and technology, bioseparation and bioanalytics, photochemistry and fluorescence techniques is used for a variety of qualified services such as contract R&D, contract manufacturing and consulting. In addition, ELIPSA has a special competence in the design and synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layers. This project has been supported in the frame-work of the FUTOUR program of the German Ministry of Commerce.
