YMC is a leading global provider of fine separations technology products and services for the purification of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical compounds. YMC’s business is centered around liquid chromatography as a full-range supplier of bulk packing materials, lab and production scale systems, and associated services. However, the company also has a long history in manufacturing unit operations, such as TFF, biosynthesis systems, and precision dilution systems that are engineered for the demanding applications in the production of regulated drug therapies.
Since releasing its first product in 1980, YMC has grown to support manufacturing and offices in over 10 countries, offering leading-edge services, sales, technical product support, contract purification services, and applications assistance. YMC serves customers of all sizes—from startup R&D labs to the world’s largest biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies.
At YMC, we’re small enough to listen but big enough to deliver major innovations for the purification of new and novel therapies. As one of the most established manufacturers of HPLC columns, our portfolio ranges from classical analytical over chiral to semi-preparative HPLC columns. Every YMC column is individually tested to provide peak symmetry and performance and meet our high-quality standards.
YMC’s ChromaCon Group is globally known for pioneering continuous chromatography with a simple two-column design. Proven in both small and large molecule GMP applications, the Contichrom series of systems leads in the field of continuous liquid chromatography.
This website incorporates information from these three business units within YMC:
ChromaCon AG, a YMC Group Company, is a life sciences tool leader with labs and offices in Zurich, Switzerland, that develop and commercialize proprietary chromatographic process technology. Founded in 2006, ChromaCon became established as the global leader in continuous chromatography and collaborated with YMC’s Process Technologies Group for the production of GMP scale-up equipment before joining YMC in 2019.
Today, YMC ChromaCon offers an integrated approach to chromatographic process development and production systems and tools. With a founding vision to make chromatography simpler and more efficient and thus expanding its range of applications, ChromaCon has developed a series of laboratory-scale FPLC and HPLC equipment for the purification of proteins and small molecules, employing a range of connected and continuous processes (Contichrom CUBE) distributed globally by YMC-associated companies.
