Our Future Outlook
The Next Frontier
Spongy Monolith (SPM) is an advanced separation medium featuring a continuous, sponge-like monolithic structure with large through-pores.
Distinct from traditional particle-packed columns, its unique structural design delivers high permeability and rapid processing. Additionally, leveraging the reactive groups present on its surface, various ligands and functional molecules can be immobilized, allowing for highly flexible functional customization based on specific separation requirements.
SPM Inc. is committed to expanding the application of this proprietary technology to a wide range of fields, driving innovations in the separation of everything from antibodies and proteins to extracellular vesicles and other bioparticles.
From Kyoto to the World
SPM technology was developed through research at Kyoto University.
Building on this foundation, SPM Inc. was established to bring the technology from the laboratory to real-world applications.
