  • Rapid Screening Of A Cell-Based Assay For GLP-1 Receptor Using A Natural Product Library

    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.

  • Quality By Design In Biomanufacturing

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

  • Single-Use Connections Advance Aseptic Processing

    John Boehm discusses how single-use connections advance aseptic processing and create increased process flexibility and reliability while reducing costs.

  • Removal Of Host Cell Proteins During Monoclonal Antibody Purification

    Protein A chromatography is a widely used and highly successful method of purifying recombinant monoclonal antibodies. However, since Protein A has high affinity for antibodies, harsh conditions such as low pH are often required to elute monoclonal antibodies from Protein A affinity columns. By 3M Purification Inc

  • Examining Column Reproducibility During Method Development In Clinical Labs

    In this study demonstrates how the HSS T3 stationary phase is a reliable stationary phase, as three batches made over a five-year span provide comparable results.

  • Turning Data Into Information

    As biopharmaceutical manufacturing has evolved from small-scale lab production in small flasks to massive commercial production in deep-tank bioreactors, an avalanche of production data has evolved to support it. From individual unit operation skids to distributed control systems and enterprise resource planning tools, biomanufacturing today is buried by the sheer quantity of data coming in from the manufacturing floor.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the activity of specific mRNA targets and play crucial roles in a wide variety of biological processes, including gene expression, development, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
Agilent’s Gene Expression Wash Buffers are optimized and validated for consistently reliable, high volume, post-hybridization processing.

The first self-contained oxygen measurement in the popular 12 mm format similar to standard process and pH electrodes and classical sterilizable oxygen sensors. VisiFerm DO optical sensors demonstrate a number of substantial advantages because of a symbiosis of sensor and measurement amplifier- an intelligent sensor.

Sartopure PP2 Cartridges were optimized for the wide range of prefiltration.

A proven method for confirming protein purity and yield without the need for gel staining steps. Stain-free gels provide visual confirmation of protein purity and yield by gel electrophoresis in less than 30 minutes. Stain-free technology is perfect for drug discovery, drug development, and method development for preclinical research.

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.

Macro-Prep hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) media are methacrylate-based, 50 µm beads used for protein, polypeptide, enzyme, and nucleic acid purification.

3M Purification Inc.’s LifeASSURE™ PDA series filter combines two asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membrane layers together with proprietary Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) design.
