Lipid production: from synthesis to purification
High-quality lipids are of great interest in the pharmaceutical industry as essential components of Lipid nanoparticles for RNA-based therapies. The production of such lipids requires multi-step synthesis and complex purification to be performed under a cGMP environment whilst preserving these fragile molecules from degradation of any kind.
As a leading CDMO in the manufacturing of complex APIs, Axplora is an expert in combining synthesis and Downstream Processing (DSP) using modern chromatographic purification.
