Based on 60 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of scientific instruments, KNAUER also offers custom engineering of equipment for the laboratory and for GMP production.

The company’s most recent development in this field – lipid nanoparticles (LNP) production systems – have enabled the large-scale manufacturing of mRNA-based vaccines to fight the Corona pandemic.

Traditionally, KNAUER is best known for its high-precision liquid chromatography systems (HPLC and FPLC) and related components. The systems are used to analyze samples for ingredients and impurities and determine their quantities, both in the laboratory and in process analysis. The systems can also purify value substances such as active pharmaceutical ingredients on a laboratory scale.

KNAUER’s valves, pumps, detectors, and other components are also used for tasks such as high-pressure dosing and various flow detection tasks in different applications. OEM manufacturing LC components for other suppliers is an important part of KNAUER’s business.
