MUMBAI, India, Aug. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517057089 A) filed by I3 Membrane Gmbh, Hamburg, Germany, on June 13, for 'separation of biomolecules by means of affinity chromatography.'

Inventor(s) include Renfrew, Kenneth; and Brinke-Seiferth, Stephan.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 8, under issue no. 32/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Invention relates to a method for purifying, separating, selecting and/or isolating biomolecules by means of affinity chromatography, wherein a stationary phase containing, in particular selective, binding sites formed by ligands and/or receptors is provided. There is a need to provide a suitable method for purifying, separating, selecting and/or isolating biomolecules in which desorption via change of the pH value, in particular using acidic or alkalic buffer solutions, and or via application of salt solutions is avoided, thus eliminating potential harm of degradation of the separated biomolecules, which especially, if degraded by any means, could provide health risks in medical applications or alike. This might be solved by applying a voltage between two electrodes, in particular with the stationary phase placed between those electrodes."

The patent application was internationally filed on May 13, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/062861.
