DuPont Launches AmberChrom SIL Silica Gel for Peptide Purification

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DuPont has launched DuPont AmberChrom SIL silica gel, a reverse phase silica-based chromatography medium in C8 and C18 chemistries for purifying peptide therapeutics, including GLP-1 receptor agonists. The media covers multiple purification stages, from crude purification through final high-purity polishing. Application studies show it can be used alone or combined with AmberChrom XT chromatography resins, alongside AmberChrom TQ1 and CG resins, to support purity, yield and recovery targets.

Why it matters

It widens DuPont's bioprocessing purification offering for biopharma makers scaling GLP-1 and other peptide production, giving them a silica option to combine with polymeric resins in one workflow.

Key facts

Companies	DuPont, DuPont Water Solutions
Chemicals	GLP-1 receptor agonists, peptide therapeutics, silica gel, C8 and C18 reverse phase silica
Timing	October 22, 2026
End uses	biopharmaceutical manufacturing, diabetes treatment, obesity treatment, oncology treatment

Market context

Silica gel chromatography media are porous materials used to separate molecules by size, polarity or hydrophobicity during purification. Reverse phase silica, typically bonded with alkyl chains such as C8 or C18, retains hydrophobic compounds and lets them be eluted in controlled gradients, which makes it a workhorse for purifying small molecules and peptides. Demand for peptide therapeutics has grown with injectable drugs for diabetes, obesity and some cancers, and GLP-1 receptor agonists are among the highest-volume examples. Peptide manufacturing is demanding because synthesis produces closely related impurities that must be removed to reach high purity. Producers therefore rely on multi-step purification trains that often combine silica media with polymeric resins. Suppliers of chromatography media compete on purity, column consistency, throughput and the ability to integrate with existing resin platforms, and new product launches in this area typically aim to give manufacturers more options within a single purification workflow.

DuPont Launches Free Digital Tool for Sugar Chromatography Resin Screening

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

DuPont has launched the DuPont Sugar Separation Advisor, an interactive digital tool that helps sugar and sweetener producers screen candidate DuPont AmberLite chromatography resins. Users select a target sugar, add up to four additional sugars or impurities, and generate a predicted chromatogram based on experimental separation data. The tool is available free through DuPont's Resource Center Premium with registration, and customers are directed to DuPont technical experts before final resin selection.

Why it matters

Producers of high-fructose corn syrup, beet sugar, allulose, tagatose and other sweeteners may shorten early resin testing and development timelines, which could speed adoption of DuPont AmberLite resins in food and beverage ingredient supply chains.

Key facts

Companies	DuPont, DuPont Water Solutions
Chemicals	AmberLite chromatography resins, allulose, tagatose, sorbitol, oligosaccharides, xylose, inositol, high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose
Timing	2026-09-30
Partners	Shane Kendra
End uses	Food & Beverage ingredients, sugar and sweetener manufacturing, beet sugar processing, rare sugars, sugar alcohols

Market context

Ion-exchange and chromatography resins are used to separate sugars and sugar alcohols into purified fractions, a step that determines the purity, yield and cost of sweeteners. Demand comes mainly from food and beverage ingredient makers, including producers of high-fructose corn syrup, beet sugar, and rare sugars such as allulose and tagatose, as well as sugar alcohols used as low-calorie bulking agents. Early resin testing is typically slow and laboratory-intensive, so tools that predict separation performance before physical trials can compress development schedules. For resin suppliers, faster screening can widen the pool of projects that reach the qualification stage, while sweetener producers gain a lower-cost way to compare options. Competition among resin makers tends to hinge on selectivity, capacity and technical support rather than headline price, which is why vendor expertise often remains part of the final selection.
