  • 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

  • How CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Works Application Note

    CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite is a versatile chromatography support used for separation of biological molecules as diverse as polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, enzymes, nucleic acids, and membrane proteins. By Paul Ng, Jie He, and Andrew Cohen, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA 94547

  • Improving DNA Removal from Bioprocess Purification Processes

    Many new biological drug products produced using recombinant DNA technology, such as monoclonal antibodies, are produced in cell culture. Because therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies are produced in cell culture, impurities can result from the host cells, or cell substrates. By 3M Purification Inc.

  • Biomanufacturing Supply Chains

    This white paper examines the major issues with biopharmaceutical supply chains and how to balance inventory and risk optimally in the network.

  • Compound Profiling And Toxicity

    Utilizing a systems approach to drug discovery has generated a multitude of high affinity compounds for various classes of molecular targets with different degrees of disease state validation.

  • 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

It spins volumes.

With six-liter capacity and an innovative range of rotors, carriers, and adapters, this versatile centrifuge can handle multiple high capacity applications. Ideal for bioprocessing and clinical and blood sample preparation, the J6-MI is the standard for quiet and convenient operation.

The Emphaze Hybrid Purifier is a new single-use clarifying device containing a multi-mechanism all synthetic Q-functional anion exchange media integrated with a fine particle, bioburden reduction membrane. The anion exchange media is comprised of a quaternary amine hydrogel supported by a fine fiber nonwoven scaffold. A combination of 3M technology platforms enables the hyperfunctionalization of a high purity polypropylene nonwoven with a covalently attached, thermally stable, water soluble polymer; the functional polymer accounts for roughly two-thirds of the mass of the anion exchange media. The bioburden reduction membrane is a highly asymmetric, high loading capacity polyamide membrane which has nine zones of decreasing pore size spanning a roughly 20X range and terminating with a 0.2 μm bioburden reduction rated pore size.

The Avanti J-30I High-Performance Centrifuge System gives you the fastest separations possible - in the shortest amount of time. Swinging-bucket and fixed-angle rotors provide maximum separation forces in excess of 100,000 x g at speeds up to 30,000 rpm.

Our upstream process equipment including bioreactors, roller culture equipment and incubators. Small scale consumables and glassware contained in this section include, staining ware, tissue grinders, spinner flasks, and magnetic stirrers.

Complement your gene expression analysis with LOH studies. Confirm your SNP analysis results by sequencing. Combine MLPA genomic results with quantitative gene expression for the full story.

WHEATON’s selection of chromatography vials and accessories offers quality, value and reliability. WHEATON chromatography vials are designed for trouble-free operation in most autosamplers.

The SoftGrip pipette and Hamiton AdvanTip Precision Pipette Tips create a liquid handling system designed for optimal performance. Ensure you are getting the Hamilton accuracy and precision advantage by using only Hamilton AdvanTip Precision Pipette Tips.

Macro-Prep hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) media are methacrylate-based, 50 µm beads used for protein, polypeptide, enzyme, and nucleic acid purification.
