Nuvia HR-S media is a new strong cation exchanger that has been optimized for particle size and chemistry that provides exceptional resolution and high recovery.

Freeze drying is a potentially damaging process, especially to labile materials such as proteins or living organisms. Depending on the product type damage can occur at various stages of the process including freezing, drying and heating.

The Avanti® J-HC High Capacity Centrifuge provides you with a complete solution for batch bioprocessing. A maximum of 9 Liters can be spun at speeds of 5,000 rpm and 7,480 x g for greater sample throughput. This allows processing of up to 36 Liters per hour when harvesting bacteria. Enhanced operator safety is provided with disposable HarvestLine System Liners.

Conductivity sensors measure the ability of a solution to conduct a current. The higher the concentration of ions in the solution, the higher the conductivity, which is measured in microSiemens (mS).

Nuvia media are a family of ultra high capacity ion exchangers designed for optimal performance in bioprocessing workflows.

Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.

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.

The ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 rocker features integrated temperature sensors and load cells, designed for convenient handling and control of cell cultures up to 25 L. A filter heater is delivered with the system.

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.

Beckman Coulter's Randall Lockner, marketing manager for centrifugation, explains the highlights of the floor model ultracentrifuge, the Optima X Series.

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.
