ChromaCon

ChromaCon is a company located in Zurich which appears to be spun out from the ETH (at least, one of the patents was filed by ETH, the MCSGP technology). They are developing chromatography equipment which maximizes yield by re-purifying less pure side fractions (those tails on your chromatography peak). The system has a high throughput, with their smallest instrument producing up to 20 g/day.

ChromaCon also has a sister company, Separicon, which uses the same technology for non-regulated industries (like food processing or chemical purification).

I see that ChromaCon is involved in an FP7 project, Optico which seeks to increase productivity at chemical and pharmaceutical plants. They also have worked with/been funded by Venturelab (a part of KTI/CTI - showing up once again).
