L2M-Free Flow Counterflow Gradient Focusing

Our project focuses on improving protein purification using a novel continuous separation method; Free-Flow Counterflow Gradient Focusing (FF-CGF). Traditional purification methods are slow, inefficient, and result in high sample loss, making it difficult for industries like pharmaceuticals and biotech to recover valuable proteins. Our technology offers a faster, more efficient alternative without the need for costly additives. The project focuses on validating market demand, refining our business model, and developing a strategy to overcome commercialization barriers by seeking industry insights from stakeholders in the protein purification sector
