Detergents are employed in various steps of biomanufacturing. Up to now, Triton™ X-100 has been the most used detergent. However, one of its degradation products, 4-tert-octylphenol, is an endocrine disruptor and very dangerous for the environment. Triton™ X-100 has been prohibited in the EU since 2021. The biotherapeutic industry together is faced with the challenges of identifying, producing, and implementing new alternatives. We will show to you the features and the application data of our portfolio of sustainable and biodegradable alternatives to Triton™ X-100, the Deviron® detergents.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why Triton™ X-100 is banned in the EU
- That the Deviron® portfolio offers sustainable alternatives for biomanufacturing
- About the application results for various biopharma utilizations that are available
- How downstream removal strategies were developed
