| Averica Discovery Offers Chiral Separations |
Averica Discovery Services, a provider of specialty separation and purification services to drug discovery companies, today announced the opening of laboratory facilities in Worcester, MA. Averica is part of the Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives portfolio of companies on Innovation Drive in the Massachusetts Biotech Research Park. Averica works with pharmaceutical discovery project teams, providing specialized purification of lead drug candidates. The company's strength is chiral molecule resolution, especially purification of single enantiomers. Using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC), a "green chemistry" approach that generates 10 to 100-fold less toxic solvent waste than conventional chromatography. Averica assists clients with purification of milligram to multigram quantities of potential drugs. In the new facility, Averica has installed and qualified analytical and preparative scale instrumentation developed by Thar Instruments (Pittsburgh, PA). These systems are highly efficient, so that SFC routinely achieves speed and resolution 2-10 times greater than HPLC - and makes possible purification on the multigram scale necessary for in vivo studies and candidate nomination. Contact Averica for your purification needs, or with any questions about capabilities. Let Averica help you make your discovery program more efficient. Purity is Confidence.
