iLab has teamed up with PromoChrom and Skalar (part of the Velaris brand) to support the sales of their system known as the LUMERA.
The LUMERA is a complex machine made simple. It redefines automated protein purification with a compact multi-channel design that maximizes throughput and protein yields while keeping workflows simple and efficient.
With LUMERA's pre-packed columns (GE HiTrap™) and self-packed columns, gravity-flow columns, and standard SPE cartridges, this system is able to support a wide range of affinity, ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction and other applications.
PromoChrom Technologies design and manufacture automated Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and protein purification systems. Their laboratory instruments relieve staff of labour-intensive routines by automatically preparing, purifying, and concentrating samples—such as water, soil, food, and biologicals—prior to chemical analysis. Their automated SPE systems (such as the SPE-03 platform) are widely used for detecting pollutants like PFAS in drinking water and non-potable water, strictly adhering to EPA methods.
The LUMERA is an automated multi-channel protein purification system that allows biotech and pharma labs to achieve higher yields through re-application and real-time UV detection. By utilizing a patented valve design, PromoChrom creates systems capable of processing up to 8 samples simultaneously in a much more compact and cost-effective footprint than traditional bulkier alternatives. The LUMERA runs up to 40 times faster than manual protein purification, supports 9 buffer solutions and is compatible with pre-packed columns (including GE HiTrap), self-poured columns, gravity-flow columns, and standard SPE cartridges.
