InnoPreP™ Innovative Preparative Chromatography

InnoPreP™ is a unique industrial-scale preparative chromatography capability offered by Servier. For more than 35 years, we have employed chromatography in our development and Servier has become a leading authority in this industry standard approach for purification.

InnoPreP™ represents the next step in this journey. We have invested in a new 500 m2 dedicated area at our Normandy facility in France, which houses a new lab, high containment capabilities, and adds a continuous processing option using simulated moving bed (SMB) to our existing column-based batch chromatography and SFC equipment.
