3 Factors To Prevent Protein Aggregation For Your Protein Purification Buffer

Before you purify your first batch of a new protein it is important to know what buffer you might want to use to keep precipitation of proteins to a minimum.

  • Making The Switch To Single-Use: Have You Thought Of Everything?

    In 2014, Prolong Pharmaceuticals followed through with a decision to build a facility for the scale-up of their lead product, SANGUINATE. As part of this decision, the new facility would not utilize Prolong’s traditional manufacturing process and would instead switch to one that uses single-use technology (SUT) almost exclusively. Chuck Hart, Prolong’s director of manufacturing, recently sat down with me to discuss some areas he feels are sometimes overlooked when switching from traditional stainless steel to SUT.

  • Engineered Tissue Vary Depending On Where It's Grown

    MIT researchers led by Elazer Edelman, the Thomas D. and Virginia W. Cabot Professor of Health Sciences and Technology, have now shown that implanted cells’ therapeutic properties depend on their shape, which is determined by the type of scaffold on which they are grown.

The Allegra X-30 Series Benchtop Centrifuges were designed with your needs in mind providing you with excellent performance and easy operation in a compact design that saves you valuable time and laboratory space.

Mixed-mode chromatography resin is a top tier selection for the manipulation, purification and handling of molecules; providing an unmatched level of separation properties and resolution. The combination of cation exchange resin and metal affinity resin properties, allows multimodal chromatography to provide an access route for biomolecules to separate and the use of alternative chromatographic methods make these biomolecules seem homogenous.

AseptiQuik® STC Connectors integrate the AseptiQuik® sterile connector and the Steam-Thru® II SIP connector, giving manufacturers even greater flexibility for hybrid stainless steel and single-use processing. 

The S.U.F. is engineered for optimal oxygen mass transfer, mixing, and temperature control, and performs comparably to traditional stainless steel systems. Using traditional, fundamental engineering principles, scale-up and process development work is streamlined – offering you cost savings and efficiency. 
 

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

Elevating your laboratory’s potential starts with the optimal tabletop ultracentrifuge. And the Optima MAX Series is the absolute top of the line. Reaching up to 150,000 rpm and over 1,000,000 x g, Optima MAX instruments set the standard in tabletop speed.
