BIA Separations is a biotechnology company focused on the production of methacrylate monolithic HPLC columns and developing industrial purification processes and analytical methods. ==Company History== BIA Separations was formed in 1998 by a group of scientists in Ljubljana, Slovenia to commercialize a new chromatographic resin based on monolith technology. Monolithic resin was developed independently by three different laboratories in late 1980s led by Hjertén, Švec and Tennikova.〔F. Švec, T. B. Tennikova, Z. Deyl (''Monolithic materials preparation, properties and applications'' ) Journal of Chromatography Library, Elsevier, 2003〕 The company was one of the few Slovenian companies to receive venture capital funding at that time-Horizonte Venture Management realizing the potential of monoliths made the initial investment in the company. During that year, BIA Separations released its first commercial product marketed under the trade name of CIM (Convective Interaction Media). The new technique was named HPMC (High Performance Monolith Chromatography). During the 1999 and 2000s, the company promoted this new platform technology to the scientific and business community and registered several patents.〔(CIM Convective Interaction Media ) *(BIA Separations: A Model SME? ) *(Centre for Bio Separation Technology and BIA Separations Cooperate on Purification of Biomolecules )〕 In 2007 the company headquarters moved to Villach, Austria. In 2011 BIA Separations entered a strategic partnership with Japan Synthetic Rubber Corporation, a Japanese company producing synthetic materials.〔(JSR Expands its Biomedical Business by Investing in BIA Separations' Unique Purification Technology ) *(JSR Buys Into Austrian Separations Solutions Manufacturer )〕 A strategic partnership agreement with Showa Denko K.K. (SDK) was signed in 2012.〔(SDK invests in BIAsep to get resins know-how )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BIA Separations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
