Solving Purification for Advanced Therapies

ChromaGenix delivers GMP-ready affinity chromatography technologies to overcome common bottlenecks in downstream processing of viral vector, nucleic acid and antibody-based therapeutics.

Our tunable synthetic ligand platform is creating molecule-specific, unique solutions for more robust, scalable and cost-efficient manufacturing.

Purpose-designed for complex modalities

Overcoming Process Constraints

ChromaGenix technologies are developed to overcome the constraints that actually limit your downstream performance: recovery, impurity burden, elution conditions, cleaning compatibility and workflow fit. This allows us to open new routes to more robust, scalable and cost-efficient manufacturing.

A Tunable Synthetic Ligand Platform

Synthetic affinity ligands are well-established in commercial manufacturing. Our difference is the approach. Sequence, binding chemistry, ligand density and elution behavior are tuned from the ground up around each target and its impurity profile, then paired with the optimal base matrix.

US-based GMP Manufacturing

Development, scale-up and supply from US-based GMP and R&D facilities. We deliver the documentation, regulatory quality, batch-to-batch reproducibility and supply continuity that biomanufacturing teams require for commercial downstream processing. 

Our focus areas

Forward-thinking ligand technology.

Many affinity workflows still rely on biologically derived ligands that were not developed for the diverse landscape of molecules driving the next generation of medicines.

 ChromaGenix solutions are purpose-designed for the complex processing demands of today’s viral vector, mRNA and recombinant protein processes.

Why wait for better purification tools when you can shape them?

For demanding purification challenges, NAVIGATE connects you with process expertise, new purification technologies, process insights and collabration opportunities to shape and implement a GMP-ready solution.

PROGRAM CHAIR

Professor Stefano Menegatti

NC STATE UNIVERSITY | CHROMAGENIX

Dr. Menegatti is a Professor and Faculty Scholar in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State University and co-founder of the North Carolina Viral Vector Initiative in Research and Learning (NC-VVIRAL).

Dr. Menegatti’s main interests are in purification processes and analytical technologies dedicated to biological therapeutics. His group introduced the paradigm of “flow-through affinity chromatography” and a number of affinity ligands for the purification of proteins, viral vectors, and cells, and has authored over 120 papers and 20 patents.
