Frequently Asked Questions
What separation techniques are most relevant for antibiotics?
Antibiotics are most commonly separated using Liquid-Liquid Extraction, Reverse Phase Chromatography. Selection depends on scale, purity targets, and downstream impurities.
Where do these molecules sit in industrial bioprocessing?
Bioactive secondary metabolites from fermentation (300-1500 Da). Purified using solvent extraction, reverse-phase chromatography, and crystallization.
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.
