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

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

Continuous Harvesting Of Extra-Cellular Proteins From Mammalian Cell Cultures Utilizing Small-Scale Perfusion
The use of a small-scale cell culture system not only maximizes the production of valuable protein but also avoids the high capital cost associated with system scale-up. Continuous harvesting can provide significant improvements in protein yields when compared to those of typical batch operations.
