About the Company
PuroChem Limited is an innovative company based in Hong Kong, dedicated to revolutionizing compound purification technologies.
We specialize in purifying high-quality compounds from natural sources to meet the growing global demand in the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement sectors.
As the global population ages and preference for natural wellness products increases, there is an urgent need for efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective purification solutions.
Our core technology is the self-developed Dispersed Mobile-phase Countercurrent Chromatography (DMCC), a disruptive liquid-liquid separation platform.
This technique overcomes cost and efficiency bottlenecks found in traditional methods while significantly reducing environmental impact, offering tremendous potential for industrial applications.
Our technology is especially suitable for:
Separation and purification of natural herbal extracts
Production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)
Development of ingredients for functional foods and supplements
Fractional purification of high-end cosmetic ingredients
PuroChem is more than just an equipment provider — we are a one-stop purification solution partner. Our team combines expertise in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial processing to deliver customized, scalable solutions — from lab-scale trials to full industrial production.
Core Technology: DMCC
Dispersed Mobile-phase Countercurrent Chromatography (DMCC) is a multi-solvent, atmospheric-pressure liquid-liquid chromatographic separation technology, protected by a global patent. It achieves high-resolution and high-throughput continuous purification without the need for centrifugation or solid resin.
Its core innovation lies in the mechanical dispersion of mobile phase droplets, which greatly enhances solute distribution efficiency. This technology merges the high resolution of HPLC with the high throughput of conventional liquid-phase systems, and is widely applicable in natural products, APIs, biotech food, and cosmetics.
Six Key Advantages of DMCC
Cost Effective
Save over 50% in equipment, solvent, maintenance, and waste disposal costs.
Highly Customizable
Easily switch solvent systems for different types of molecules.
Eco-Friendly
Stationary phase is easily evaporated, solvents are reusable, and there is no solid waste pollution.
Highly Scalable
Production can be easily scaled up to kilogram-level purification by adjusting parameters.
Safe Operation
Operates under low pressure without centrifugation, ensuring safety and reliability.
High Resolution
Capable of separating structurally similar compounds such as enantiomers.
Application Demonstration
The following video demonstrates the real-world application of our DMCC technology in the efficient separation of natural plant extracts. With this platform, even highly complex samples can be processed on an industrial scale with high purity and high yield.
