The Rhobust® processing platform by Upfront is an EBA-based chromatographic technique that provides a proven solution for recovering high-value active proteins in a pure concentrated form. EBA represents the most exciting development in the field of separation since the introduction of packed bed chromatography columns back in the 1950s.

A key advantage of the Rhobust® platform is that it can be used directly with crude feedstock; the chromatographic adsorbent captures protein molecules in one simple downstream process. The EBA process offers a solution that eliminates costly prefiltration steps of packed-bed implementations and has the potential to deliver significant cost savings for biomolecule manufacture.
