Dagens krav på läkemedel är höga, de ska t.ex. stanna kvar i kroppen under lång tid, ha lång hållbarhetstid och vara lätt att dosera. Att PEGylera ett läkemedel kan ge dessa egenskaper. Idag är dock denna tillverkningsprocess långsam och ger ett lågt utbyte. Size Exclusion Reaction Chromatography (SERC) är en ny teknik som förhoppningsvis ska förbättra denna process. Protein är idag vanligt förekoThe PEGylation process is a covalent attachment between a protein (the pharmaceutical) and poly ethylene glycol (PEG) and since the beginning in 1977 PEGylation processes have been used to improve pharmaceuticals.
