Addressing Common Challenges in Activated Polymer Development
Activated polymer services often require translating early research concepts into processes that can be reliably executed at scale. Gannet BioChem partners with clients at this transition point, applying decades of polymer chemistry experience to help define and control the variables that matter most for manufacturing success.
Our teams work with partners to establish clear control points for raw material selection, reaction conditions, purification strategies, and isolation methods. This approach helps address common sources of variability that can impact downstream performance. Examples include inconsistent purity, broad molecular weight distributions, and the presence of unintended low-molecular weight or multifunctional species.

Activated Polymer Capabilities and Chemistries
We support programs involving conjugated polymers, bioconjugate development, and advanced linker chemistry with a consistent approach to quality, scalability, and regulatory readiness.
Process Development Technologies Designed for Scale-Up
Gannet BioChem’s process development laboratories are equipped to closely model manufacturing-scale operations, enabling efficient and reliable scale-up. Our technologies support precise control over reaction conditions, purification strategies, and isolation methods.
Key capabilities include:
EasyMax reactors for accurate, reproducible control of reaction parameters
ÄKTA systems for development of preparative size exclusion chromatography and linker technologies
Preparative HPLC for impurity isolation and small-scale product refinement
Tools to study precipitation behavior, particle size, and filtration performance
Small-scale agitated filter dryers that mirror plant equipment for effective tech transfer
In-House Characterization
and Analytical Control
Accurate characterization is essential for understanding activated polymer behavior and ensuring consistent product quality. Gannet BioChem maintains comprehensive in-house analytical capabilities that support both development and cGMP manufacturing, reducing reliance on external testing and accelerating project timelines.
A Collaborative Approach to Activated Polymer Services
Gannet BioChem approaches activated polymer programs as long-term partnerships. Our scientists work closely with clients to understand near-term objectives and future development goals, allowing us to anticipate potential challenges and tailor development strategies accordingly.
All development and cGMP manufacturing activities take place at our Alabama facilities, providing a fully integrated, U.S.-based solution for CDMO services. Raw materials are sourced from reliable, consistent vendors to build quality into processes from the start, and our sustainability efforts, including SBTi validation, reflect our commitment to responsible operations.
