Major Products/Services
Supelco's HPLC product offerings include the Ascentis® and Ascentis Express Fused-Core® HPLC columns plus an extensive line of Astec Chiral columns.
The unique polymer chemistries of Supelco's SLB™ and Equity® capillary GC columns provide accurate identification and reliable quantification. Supelco's SLB columns offer a low bleed, inert, and durable column for trace analyses.
Supelco offers a wide range of SPE cartridges and accessories in standard and specialty phases. The SupelMIP® (molecularly imprinted polymer) line offers tailor-made selectivity for extraction of trace analytes.
Our SPME technology (short, phase-coated fused-silica fiber) is used to remove analytes from water-based samples or headspace and deliver them to a capillary GC or an HPLC column.
Supelco also offers a vast variety of analytical standards and its carbon research program is unique to the separations technologies industry.
Facilities
Supelco's corporate headquarters and main production facility are in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. An extensive network of Sigma-Aldrich subsidiaries and sales professionals promotes and supports Supelco products worldwide.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
2024 EAS Awardees Showcase Innovative Research in Analytical Science
