Are Your Single-Use Sensor Tests Set Up To Fail?When it comes to testing methods, experts warn that the same testing methods used on stainless-steel sensors should not be used for single-use sensors. If an attempt is being made to recreate results achieved with a traditional sensor, it’s very possible for those results to appear unfavorable with a single-use sensor.

CD69 Expression On Activated Lymphocytes Is Stable In Streck's Cyto-Chex® BCT
The purpose of this study was to determine if the activation marker, CD69, is preserved and stable in whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex® BCT. Previous studies have demonstrated CD marker stability of whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex BCT for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature (18-22°C). By Jodi Alt, Ph.D

Microbial Fermentation In Single-Use Xcellerex™ XDR-50 MO Fermentor SystemThis application note describes the performance of a single-use Xcellerex XDR-50 bioreactor system when used in cultivations of E. coli and of modified Pseudomonas fluorecsens (P. fluorescens) producing a monoclonal antibody (MAb). Both the achieved microbe densities and product yield were shown to be consistent with the performance of conventional stainless steel systems.
