Gilson Buys Chromatography Company

CCC is a silica-free chromatography technique used for preparative, pilot and industrial applications. It utilizes two non-miscible phases maintained by a centrifugal force. Armen also offers pumps and detectors for analytical, preparative, pilot and industrial chromatography.

Middleton, WI 10/11/13—Gilson, a supplier of manual and automated liquid sample management products, has acquired Armen, a provider of manual preparative chromatography based on HPLC and centrifugal partition chromatography, also known as counter current chromatography (CCC). “Armen brings to Gilson their CCC technology, which is capable of quick and cost effective purification of natural, raw products in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical markets,” commented Gilson CEO Atika El Sayed. Gilson also stated that the Armen’s experience in developing pumping systems adds to Gilson’s HPLC and purification offerings and positions it to move into new markets. Gilson will introduce Armen products next year under the Armen brand.
