Customers
We want to hear from end users of chemical extraction technology, to ensure that our products are relevant to the community. We’re interested in chemical extraction scenarios including:
- Continuous extraction of chemical product from cultures of microbial cell factories
- Purification of high value chemicals from waste and virgin feedstocks
- Removal of chemical contaminants from processes such as antibody production and cultured meat
- Water surveillance
Our Products
The chemical adsorbents that we are developing can be coated onto a range of scaffolds, for different applications. For example:
Flow-through columns
Flow-through columns
Our sorbent can be immobilised onto columns suited to the flow-through of culture, for continuous product extraction.
Rotating beds
Rotating beds
Our sorbent can be immobilised onto rotating beds, which stir and aerate culture whilst also capturing product.
Nanomagnets
Nanomagnets
Our sorbent can be immobilised onto nanomagnets for dispersal throughout culture, providing a high surface area of adsorbent.
Your Opinion Counts
The University of Edinburgh Eco Extractions project has received BBSRC Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe) funding, towards bringing our technology to market.
To register your interest in the technology, and provide information on your chemical extraction challenges, we’d be grateful if you could complete our survey, with the option to be included in a £100 prize draw.
The information that you provide will help us to understand the need for new chemical extraction technology, and to bring relevant solutions to the community.
