MATTHEWS, N.C., Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

-- Improved resolution and separation of peptide impurities

-- Easier purification of hydrophobic peptides

-- Direct transfer from analytical to preparative scale

CEM Corporation is proud to announce the release of the new Prodigy(TM)

Preparative High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system. Key to the

system is its unique elevated temperature capability that provides improved

resolution and separation capabilities beyond traditional Preparative HPLC. The

Prodigy was designed with a focus on improving the purification of

biomolecules, such as synthetic peptides that often face purification

difficulties due to only subtle differences with their synthetic impurities.

The capabilities of the Prodigy can be utilized with column diameters up to

50mm that allow for loading > 1g of peptide per injection.

The Prodigy's best-in-class performance is supported by an advanced focused

gradient calculator that delivers optimized method transfer from analytical to

preparative scale without tedious scouting runs. As analytical HPLC is often

performed at elevated temperature, the Prodigy simplifies the transfer process

by allowing use of the same temperature at the preparative scale. CEM is also

introducing the Intrepid(TM) series of HPLC columns that are optimized for use

with the Prodigy. These columns have industry-leading silica characteristics

with minimal backpressure. Taken together, these features offer improved yields

with less effort and waste for peptide purification.

"We feel the Prodigy is a significant advancement for the often-difficult task

of purifying peptides. It is exciting to offer this system to the market, as it

continues our commitment toward improving peptide production," says Jonathan M.

Collins, Vice President of Business Development. With the release of the

Prodigy, CEM now offers a complete line of synthesis and purification

instrumentation for peptide production.
