  • Single-Use Standardization: Is It Holding Back The Biopharma Industry?

    The data from BioPlan Associates’ 12th Annual Report and Survey of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Capacity and Production speaks to the industry’s ongoing desires for standardization in single-use devices. As usage of these disposable devices increases, the gap between the importance of standardization and end-users’ satisfaction with their supplier’s standardization efforts has steadily been worsening. 

  • WHEATON Announces Acquisition Of CELLine

    WHEATON has acquired the CELLine dual membrane, cell culture flasks from Wilson Wolf Manufacturing Corporation.  WHEATON has also entered into a long term strategic partnership with Wilson Wolf Manufacturing Corporation for further product development in high density cell culture devices for the production of concentrated, cell secreted products.

  • OHSU Doernbecher Scientists First To Grow Liver Stem Cells In Culture, Transplant Them With Demonstrated Therapeutic Benefit

    For decades scientists around the world have attempted to regenerate primary liver cells known as hepatocytes because of their numerous biomedical applications, including hepatitis research, drug metabolism and toxicity studies, as well as transplantation for cirrhosis and other chronic liver conditions.

  • Economic Analysis Of Single-Use Tangential Flow Filtration For Biopharmaceutical Applications Prior to creating an accurate economic model for TFF, a thorough understanding of the process where the TFF is used is needed. A process model is a valuable tool when properly executed and it must accurately include all critical aspects of the purification process. By Michael LaBreck, Mark Perreault, Novasep
  • Quality By Design In Biomanufacturing

    QbD is increasingly required in our industry, but there are still gaps in understanding how QbD applies to the biomanufacturing process.

  • Biomanufacturing Complexity

    This white paper addresses one of the most serious challenges facing biomanufacturing professionals today - how to understand and then deal with the extreme complexity associated with biotechnology manufacturing.

  • Biomanufacturing Debottlenecking And Process Optimization

    Optimizing biomanufacturing is particularly challenging because of variability and complexity associated with the sharing of finite and interdependent resources. By BIO-G

  • 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

  • Connection Technology Advances Closed System Processing

    The global demand for new biologics and vaccines, combined with the growing emergence of biosimiliars, is challenging drugmakers to re-evaluate their processes and seek ways to make them more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective. By John Boehm, Colder Products Company
