Can We Win The War Against Mycoplasma Contamination?
Mycoplasma maybe the smallest class of free living microorganism, but the consequences of a contamination in a cell batch during bioprocessing can be huge.

Automated Dual Feeding Into Recently Converted Bioreactors
This case study explains how Parker Bioscience Filtration (a division of Parker Hannifin) helped a pharmaceutical company optimize cell density in cell culture tanks that needed to be converted into fermenters to grow E. coli bacteria.
-
Adaption Of The BioLector Technology To Anaerobic Requirements
Biorefineries have reignited interest in anaerobic fermentations with biobutanol production being the principle driver. Already during the First World War Biobutanol and acetone were produced in Clostridium acetobutylicum.

Skip Steps In Cell Culturing
With Cell Culture Flask Adapters, the culture can be centrifuged directly in the flask. Data illustrates that cell yield, cell viability, and endpoint analysis results are comparable when cell cultures are processed traditionally or centrifuged directly in the flask using Cell Culture Flask Adapters.

Better Characterization of Biomolecules Using Agilent AdvanceBio Reversed-Phase Columns
Reversed-phase (RP) is one of the three key techniques used in biochromatography and is particularly valuable because of its compatibility with LC/MS detection. And small particle improvements, such as those found in Agilent ZORBAX RRHD 300A, 1.8 um columns, make RP an attractive choice for many biopharmaceutical applications.

Efficiency Test Of ReadyToProcess™ Columns
ReadyToProcess™ columns are prepacked, prequalified, and presanitized process chromatography columns suited for purification of biopharmaceuticals (e.g., proteins, vaccines, plasmids, and viruses) for clinical phase I and II studies. ReadyToProcess columns are available with several media at different volumes (1, 2.5, 10, and 20 L).
CELL CULTURE PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Mixed-mode chromatography resin is a top tier selection for the manipulation, purification and handling of molecules; providing an unmatched level of separation properties and resolution. The combination of cation exchange resin and metal affinity resin properties, allows multimodal chromatography to provide an access route for biomolecules to separate and the use of alternative chromatographic methods make these biomolecules seem homogenous.
The S.U.F. is engineered for optimal oxygen mass transfer, mixing, and temperature control, and performs comparably to traditional stainless steel systems. Using traditional, fundamental engineering principles, scale-up and process development work is streamlined – offering you cost savings and efficiency.

ABOUT
Cell Culture
Cell culture is a complex, highly structured process for growing cells, under strictly controlled conditions, outside of their normal environment. Cell cultures stilluse cultures of cells on flat plastic dishes.
This is referred to as two-dimensional (2D) cell culture. Aside from using Petri dishes for growing cells, scientists have for a long time, grown cells within biologically-derived matrices such as collagen or fibrin.
Today, more and more 3d cell cultures are being used because they more closely resemble the in vitro cell growth environment. Most 3d cell cultures in use today are designed for stem cell research, tissue engineering and drug discovery. As the field continues to grow and expand, 3d cell culture availability will likely expand to include other cell culture related fields.
For non-adhesive cells suspension cell cultures are used. In these cultures a cell is placed in the liquid suspension, stirred with a magnetic stirrer to agitate the cell and make it float freely in the suspension. The cell grows, divides and spreads throughout the suspension.
Cell culture refers to the culturing of cells derived from multi-cellular eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus), primarily animal cells. However cell cultures also exist for plants, fungi and microbes that include viruses, bacteria and microorganisms. Cell culture shares closely related methodology with tissue culture and organ culture.
You can separate cells from tissues for use in cultures several ways. Cells can be purified from blood but only white cells will grow in a culture. Mononuclear cells can be released from soft tissue using enzymes that break the cells away from their substrate or matrix. Pieces of tissue can also be placed in a growth media and the cells that grow from it can be used for cell cultures.
