DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING FEATURED ARTICLES
MIT researchers have developed RNA-delivering nanoparticles that allow for rapid screening of new drug targets in mice. In their first mouse study, done with researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute, they showed that nanoparticles that target a protein known as ID4 can shrink ovarian tumors.

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

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.
Our integrated single-use bioreactors are designed as complete out-of-the-box jacketed systems, each paired with an integrated controller and temperature control unit (TCU).
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.
