Amino Acids

Zwitterionic building blocks (75-200 Da) from fermentation. Purified using ion exchange at the isoelectric point, crystallization, and activated carbon decolorization.

Recommended separation techniques

These techniques appear most often in commercial downstream processes for amino acids.

Frequently Asked Questions

What separation techniques are most relevant for amino acids?

Amino acids are most commonly separated using Ion Exchange, Crystallization. Selection depends on scale, purity targets, and downstream impurities.

Where do these molecules sit in industrial bioprocessing?

Zwitterionic building blocks (75-200 Da) from fermentation. Purified using ion exchange at the isoelectric point, crystallization, and activated carbon decolorization.

How does untangle.bio help design these processes?

Drag-and-drop unit operations onto a flowsheet, define your feed stream from the built-in database, and let the route generator propose ranked process trains based on yield, purity, and CAPEX.
