Provided are methods, devices, and kits for the isolation of extracellular vesicles using silicon nanomembranes. A method for EV isolation includes the steps of collecting a biofluid sample, contacting the biofluid sample with a pre-filtration membrane, thereby forming a first filtrate and a first retentate, optionally, washing the first retentate of the pre-filtration membrane, contacting the first filtrate from the pre-filtration membrane with a capture membrane, thereby forming a second filtrate and a second retentate, optionally, washing the second retentate, and eluting the second retentate from the capture membrane or lysing the second retentate to recover the contents.

A D-allulose syrup including, besides D-allulose, a D-allulose dimer mass content, expressed in terms of dry mass, lower than 1.5%. Also, a method for producing the syrup and to the use thereof for producing food or pharmaceutical products.

In various embodiments, the present invention provides a process for separating target proteins from non-target proteins in a sample comprising increasing the concentration of the target proteins and non-target proteins in the sample and subsequently delivering the concentrated sample to a chromatography device. In other embodiments, the invention relates to a process for increasing the capacity of a chromatography device for a target protein by delivering a concentrated sample comprising the target protein to a chromatography device.

Methods of regenerating a strong base anion resin are described. The method comprises collecting a salt-containing product from a chromatographic system configured to process a biomass derived material. The salt-containing product is processed through a nanofiltration membrane to collect a salt-containing permeate, which is used to regenerate a spent strong base anion resin. The biomass may be a plant-based material, such as sugar beets or sugar cane. A system for regenerating a strong base anion resin is also described.

A platform has a filter system with a first set of filter modules and a second set of filter modules that is different from the first set of filter modules. Each set of filter modules includes an inflow channel and an outflow channel. A fluid inlet is connected to the first set of filter modules, a fluid outlet is connected to the second set of filter modules, and a separation interface separates the first and second sets of filter modules. The separation interface has a first interface channel to connect to the module outflow channel of the first set of filter modules, and a second interface channel to connect to the module inflow channel of the second set of filter modules. The filter system receives fluid through the fluid inlet and, after the fluid has passed through each set of filter modules, discharges the fluid through the fluid outlet.

The present disclosure provides methods for producing consumable recombinant proteins that are substantially free from herein-disclosed undesired byproducts.

A system for separating a solvent includes a first mixing tank comprising a waste solvent feed and a reactant feed; a first filter comprising a nanofiltration membrane; a distillation column or an evaporator; a condenser or cooler; and a pervaporation membrane. A method for separating a solvent includes mixing a waste solvent with a reactant to cause precipitation or complexing and forming a mixture; filtering the mixture using a nanofiltration membrane and forming a permeate; distilling or evaporating the permeate to form a concentrated solvent; condensing or cooling the concentrated solvent to below a boiling point of solvents in the concentrated solvent; and filtering the concentrated solvent using pervaporation to form a purified solvent. The system and method may be used to separate and purify a solvent without creating thermal degradation products.

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for the continuous production of recombinant proteins. In particular embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods and systems using capture chromatography, post-capture chromatography, virus filtration, and ultrafiltration/diafiltration for the continuous production of recombinant proteins.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatus for efficient continuous production of hydrophobic products with the simultaneous retention of substrates.
