New Material Aims To Make Drugs Cheaper

The Horizons Tracker

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology believe they have a solution. They explain that separation is usually done via chromatography, which binds biomolecules to the surface, with strong chemicals then required to release them. Indeed, new medicines are often highly sensitive to such strong use of chemicals.
