Brain Signal IDs Responders To Fast-Acting Antidepressant
Scientists have discovered a biological marker that may help to identify which depressed patients will respond to an experimental, rapid-acting antidepressant. The brain signal, detectable by noninvasive imaging, also holds clues to the agent's underlying mechanism, which are vital for drug development, say National Institutes of Health researchers.

Guidelines For Proper Filtration And Delivery Of Samples To On-Line Process Analyzers
Increasingly precise process control strategies, often linked to computer control, have accelerated the use of sophisticated on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Instruments such as gas and liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs, laser optic instruments, atomic absorption instruments and specific ion analyzers, which were rarities in laboratories ten years ago, are now found routinely in plant settings.

Improving DNA Removal from Bioprocess Purification Processes
Many new biological drug products produced using recombinant DNA technology, such as monoclonal antibodies, are produced in cell culture. Because therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies are produced in cell culture, impurities can result from the host cells, or cell substrates. By 3M Purification Inc.
