PeptiSystems completes a beta-testing project with Bachem evaluating new peptide synthesis instrument technology – PeptiPilot

Uppsala, Sweden, November 14, 2022

​

PeptiSystems announces that it has completed beta-testing and evaluation of PeptiSystems, new generation of peptide synthesis instruments, together with Bachem, a public, innovation-driven company specializing in the development and manufacturing of peptides and oligonucleotides. 

 

The instrument, PeptiPilot, is based on flow-through column technology which has been used extensively for solid-phase synthesis of oligonucleotides but has not successfully been applied to peptide synthesis. This technology can be used for process development and large-scale commercial manufacturing of non-GMP and GMP quality peptides. PeptiSystems’ flow-through column technology enables real-time continuous monitoring of the synthesis to increase synthesis control, automation, and productivity, while maintaining the same or achieving higher purity and yield compared to current stirred-bed, batch reactor technologies. 

 

Lars Holmberg, PeptiSystems’ CEO comments, “We are excited that Bachem has successfully completed the beta-testing of PeptiPilot. Bachems expertise and feedback is very valuable for us in the continued development of these instruments and in our mission towards greener and more efficient peptide manufacturing.”
