Novasep and instrAction have entered into an alliance that will offer customers in the pharmaceutical industry a combination of instrAction’s proprietary API-selective stationary phases and Novasep’s purification capabilities and high performance chromatography technologies. Together, the companies aim to develop and operate or supply optimized large-scale chromatography processes for purifying synthetic and semi-synthetic compounds.
“With the ever-increasing complexity of pharmaceutical compounds, traditional purification processes including crystallization, and even normal or reversed-phase chromatography, are often too expensive, and, worse, ineffective,” says René De Vaumas, executive vice president in charge of Novasep Synthesis’ business development.
“We believe that together, instrAction and Novasep will develop solutions that will provide great improvement in the purification of a number of pharmaceutical compounds,” said Dr Thomas Schwarz, CEO of instrAction GmbH. “Moreover, we believe that our joint approach with a single point of contact and streamlined project management will help reduce process development timelines.”

Investigating the Protective Effects of Frankincense Oil on Wound Healing with GC–MS
April 2nd 2025Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties. A recent study investigated the protective effects of the oil in an excision wound model in rats, focusing on oxidative stress reduction, inflammatory cytokine modulation, and caspase-3 regulation; chemical composition of the oil was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
