Downstream Processing White Papers and Case Studies

  1. Micro-Volume Determination Of Labeling Efficiency In A Standard Microplate Reader 2/12/2013

    A variety of methods and reagents have been developed to efficiently label biomolecules. By Peter J. Brescia, Applications Scientist,  BioTek Instruments, Inc.

  2. SciLog - Creating Advanced Biotech Equipment With Mettler Toledo 3/26/2012
    For nearly two decades, SciLog, Inc. has been dedicated to creating revolutionary single-use purification systems and disposable sensor technologies.
  3. Economic Analysis Of Single-Use Tangential Flow Filtration For Biopharmaceutical Applications 6/10/2011
    Prior to creating an accurate economic model for TFF, a thorough understanding of the process where the TFF is used is needed. A process model is a valuable tool when properly executed and it must accurately include all critical aspects of the purification process. By Michael LaBreck, Mark Perreault, Novasep
  4. Efficiency Test Of ReadyToProcess™ Columns 5/1/2013

    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).

  5. Biomanufacturing Supply Chains 12/22/2011

    This white paper examines the major issues with biopharmaceutical supply chains and how to balance inventory and risk optimally in the network.

  6. Rapid Screening Of A Cell-Based Assay For GLP-1 Receptor Using A Natural Product Library 8/9/2012

    Here we demonstrate the detection of GLP-1R binding through the incorporation of a homogeneous cell-based binding assay using HTRF Tag-lite® technology. By Brad Larson and Peter Banks, BioTek Instruments, Inc. and Nicolas Pierre, Suzanne Graham, Jean-Luc Tardieu, and François Degorce, Cisbio US, Inc.

  7. Materials Of Construction For Biopharmaceutical Water Systems 1/15/2013

    Stainless steels are uniquely qualified for bioprocessing applications not only because of their long service life, availability, and fabricability, but also because they are non-corroding, non-contaminant, can be polished to very smooth finishes, are strong and rigid, can withstand heat and chemical sterilization treatments, and are easily welded. By Michelle M. Gonzalez

  8. Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic Hydroxyapatite

    Conventional techniques for mammalian virus purification produce variable quality, quantity, and significant loss of particle infectivity. We  propose the chromatographic separation of viral particles of diverse sizes and from different families such as dengue, influenza, mouse hepatitis, adenovirus, poliovirus using CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite resin.

  9. Quality By Design In Biomanufacturing 12/22/2011

    QbD is increasingly required in our industry, but there are still gaps in understanding how QbD applies to the biomanufacturing process.

  10. Selecting The Optimal Resins For The Process Purification Of Native And Recombinant Proteins 8/3/2016

    Native and recombinant proteins are used in a variety of applications ranging from drug discovery to target validation to high-throughput screening. Due to this, large-scale protein production and purification have become major necessities in industrial settings.
