![Bio-rad]( "Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic Hydroxyapatite")
Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic HydroxyapatiteConventional techniques for mammalian virus purification produce variable quality, quantity, and significant loss of particle infectivity. We propose the chromatographic separation of viral particles of diverse sizes and from different families such as dengue, influenza, mouse hepatitis, adenovirus, poliovirus using CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite resin.

![XDR-50MO]( "Microbial Fermentation In Single-Use Xcellerex™ XDR-50 MO Fermentor System")
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.

Effect Of Sterilization On Mechanical Properties Of Silicone Rubbers
Silicone rubber is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry where sterilizability is an essential requirement for all fluid transfer equipment. Pharmaceutical products must be sterilized frequently and repeatedly by high level energy and/or chemical vapor in order to eliminate bacterial surface contamination.

Materials Of Construction For Biopharmaceutical Water Systems
Stainless steels are uniquely qualified for bioprocessing applications not only because of their long service life, availability, and fabricability, but also because they are non-corroding, non-contaminant, can be polished to very smooth finishes, are strong and rigid, can withstand heat and chemical sterilization treatments, and are easily welded.

DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING PRODUCTS
Storage of pharmaceutical compounds is a function of the storage process and not a specific containment driven requirement per se. This is the case whether you are processing in a contained fashion or performing non-contained processing into open kegs with simple drum liners.
DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING MULTIMEDIA
Bioprocess With The Bozenhardts is back, with a fresh episode packed with advice from Herman and Erich on the selection of filling systems for biopharmas. Listen in as the Bozenhardts give us an update on the process, logistics, and administration trends that are informing filling system decisions today, and offer direction on making choices that will prepare you for the fast-advancing therapies of tomorrow.
Bio-Rad now offers two very high capacity ion exchangers: Nuvia S, which can be used for capture and/or intermediate polishing; and Nuvia Q, which can be used for intermediate and/or final polishing.
