  • Biological Contamination Events In Isolators: What Lessons Can Be Learned?

    Microbiological deviation and biological contamination events have been observed in pharmaceutical isolators including those used in production, sterility test and pharmacy aseptic services. By James Drinkwater, Bioquell UK Process & Compliance Director

  • Global Biochemical Profiling For Bioprocess Optimization

    It is widely understood that the production phase of bioprocessing can have a significant impact on the overall profitability of the biopharmaceutical.

  • Comparing The Automated Pipetting To Volumetric Glassware And Air Displacement Pipettes

    Analytical sample preparation is used in many industries such as forensics, environmental chemistry, mining, beer and wine fermentation and many others. Concentrated samples are diluted and analyzed via High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption, and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to name a few. Traditionally these samples are prepared using volumetric glassware, syringes and/or pipettes.

  • 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.

  • The Challenge of Measuring Total Organic Carbon In Modern Pharmaceutical Water Systems

    Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is one of the quality attributes defined in the European and USA pharmacopoeias for pharmaceutical waters. Modern water treatment systems can deliver such high purity water that TOC levels can be consistently close to zero and very difficult to measure with any accuracy. This paper discusses some of the challenges when using TOC analysers to demonstrate pharmacopoeial TOC level compliance for modern water systems in the light of the ICH Q2 document from the International Conference on Harmonisation.

  • Examining Column Reproducibility During Method Development In Clinical Labs

    In this study demonstrates how the HSS T3 stationary phase is a reliable stationary phase, as three batches made over a five-year span provide comparable results.
