Sepragen Corporation Customer Quotes Human Genome Sciences, Inc. "We have purchased several QuantaSep Systems and use them routinely in development and manufacturing. They have provided us with the capability to scale-up quickly and reliably. The robust design and compact size has enabled us to add productive capacity without waiting for additional construction. The QuantaSep software is easy to learn and use. Automated processing and report generation have enabled us to get more done with the same resources. Our quality and consistency have improved, as well. I would highly recommend the QuantaSep® family of products to anyone." Mark Oelkuct, Purification Manager Cohesion Technologies "At Cohesion we have used a QuantaSep 1000 as a workhorse in both manufacturing and process development. We are quite satisfied with its performance. In our hands the QuantaSep has been a reliable instrument that is also easy to use and maintain. The flow rate range of the 1000 matched out commercial requirement for one process and pilot scale for another. It fits well into smaller processing spaces (critical when working in Palo Alto). Again, we have been happy with our QuantaSep 1000 and would be willing to discuss our experience with others" Lou Sehl, Ph. D., Senior Scientist and Team Leader 46
47
Sepragen Corporation Customer Quotes Dade Behring "The efficiency of these products, in our hands, provides a significant advantage over other purification equipment we have evaluated for the following reasons: 1) The QuantaSep software is easy to use and train. 2) The QuantaSep allows us to reduce our standard direct hours, thus reduce our projected costs, by allowing a production chemist to perform multiple purification tasks simultaneously. This system eliminates the need to "baby-sit" all the individual purification steps. With reduced labor costs, the return on investment is easily less than two years for the QuantaSeps. 3) This programmable system insures lot-to-lot consistency, resulting in consistent elution profiles vs. the built in variability with more manual operations. A critical advantage for a GMP production process. 4) And finally, one unique advantage of this system is its versatility. We can run both our small and large volume production (5 liter to 200 liter) runs with the change over feature. No other systems we have investigated have that volume flexibility."
