Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography Media
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) remain a predominant class of therapeutic protein products on the market because of their wide range of applications in disease treatment and diagnosis. Over the years, upstream technology advancements have helped improve the titer of target antibodies, from merely 1 g/L two decades ago to 10–13 g/L in fed-batch processes and up to 25 g/L in perfusion cultures today (Gronemeyer et al. 2014).

White Paper: Capillary Electrophoresis — A Simple Technique
In 1989, Beckman Instruments introduced the first fully automated capillary electrophoresis instrument (P/ACE™ 2000) to the scientific community. At that time, CE demonstrated exceptional resolving of selected compounds, but the new technology lacked a track record of applications. By Beckman Coulter, Inc.

Proven Long Life Lasers™ In Optical Particle Counters Optical particle counters (OPC) utilize light illumination and extinction to determine the presence, size, number and/or concentration of particles. Particles are typically suspended in a fluid or air, which flow through the volume that is illuminated and viewed by the detection system.
