Scientists Help Identify A Missing Link In Taste Perception

Working with a multidisciplinary consortium of 19 researchers from nine institutions, Monell scientists have provided critical information to identify CALHM1, a channel in the walls of taste receptor cells, as a necessary component in the process of sweet, bitter, and umami (savory) taste perception.

  • Important Considerations For Implementing A Single-Use Biomanufacturing Strategy

    Recent trends in biomanufacturing technology and the biopharmaceutical market are supporting the increased adoption of single-use (SU) manufacturing systems. On the demand-side, the biopharma industry is focusing on niche and rare diseases with smaller patient populations, resulting in the need for smaller, more agile biomanufacturing capacity. By Jodi M. Zobrist and Nicole W. O'Brien, Ph. D., Gallus Biopharmaceuticals, LLC

  • Biomanufacturing Flexibility

    This white paper from BIO-G looks at how to create flexible, agile manufacturing facilities to respond to the current glut of biomanufacturing capacity and industry consolidation. Future proofing these facilities for higher titers and multiple product lines is also explored.

  • Microbial Fermentation In Single-Use Xcellerex™ XDR-50 MO Fermentor System

    This 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.

  • Accelerating Biopharmaceutical Development From DNA To Drug

    In the last decade, single-use solutions for virtually every bioprocess unit have been developed, and considerable investments have been made by the industry into areas that underpin this technology.

  • 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).

  • Met One Sensors Resistant To Vaporous Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) Pharmaceutical manufacturers often require an aseptic production environment to minimize the presence of microbes and their potential contamination of the manufactured product.

The ATF™ System was originally designed for perfusion processes in mammalian cell culture, using hollow fiber filters to achieve an efficient cell separation with low shear and allowing robust large scale manufacturing.

LifeASSURE SP series sterilizing grade filters and capsules are validated for absolute bacteria retention and provide reliable sterile filtration performance.

Cross- Flow Filtration mineral (inorganic) membranes and systems for bioprocessing and separation of biomolecules (e.g. monoclonal antibodies); especially for UF/DF filtration step in downstream processing.

New C-Flex® ULTRA pump tubing is the latest addition to the C-Flex family of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing. Specifically designed to meet the critical demands of the biopharmaceutical industry, C-Flex® ULTRA outperforms all other TPE materials on the market today.

The Avanti J-30I High-Performance Centrifuge System gives you the fastest separations possible - in the shortest amount of time. Swinging-bucket and fixed-angle rotors provide maximum separation forces in excess of 100,000 x g at speeds up to 30,000 rpm.
Nuvia media are a family of ultra high capacity ion exchangers designed for optimal performance in bioprocessing workflows.
Introducing the new Allegra X-14 Series. At 120 volts, it's a great alternative to the higher voltage Allegra X-15R. This benchtop centrifuge is convenient, hardworking, reliable, and will speed up your process, cycle after cycle.

The Avanti® J-HC High Capacity Centrifuge provides you with a complete solution for batch bioprocessing. A maximum of 9 Liters can be spun at speeds of 5,000 rpm and 7,480 x g for greater sample throughput. This allows processing of up to 36 Liters per hour when harvesting bacteria. Enhanced operator safety is provided with disposable HarvestLine System Liners.
