![Monoclonal Antibody Purification Platform Using High-Capacity Protein A And Mixed-Mode Chromatography]( "Monoclonal Antibody Purification Platform Using High-Capacity Protein A And Mixed-Mode Chromatography")
Monoclonal Antibody Purification Platform Using High-Capacity Protein A And Mixed-Mode ChromatographyThe first step in purification of an important class of therapeutic proteins, the polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), is their capture from plasma or tissue culture supernatants. Protein A–based media are by far the most common class of affinity products used for this purpose.

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.
