The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is a microfluidics-based platform for sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA, RNA, proteins and cells on a single platform. Results are delivered within 30-40 minutes in automated, high quality digital data.

LifeASSURE SP series sterilizing grade filters and capsules are validated for absolute bacteria retention and provide reliable sterile filtration performance.

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.

LifeASSURE PNA series filters help bioprocess, pharmaceutical, biologicals, and diagnostic reagent processors meet high standards for microorganism and fine particle control. 

Proyield Pea PCE80B is a protein hydrolysate derived from pea protein concentrate by enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymes used for digestion are from non-animal sources. Proyield Pea PCE80B has been ultrafiltered to reduce endotoxin.

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.

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

PRP-X300 is a polymeric column packing for the separation of alcohols and organic acids.

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.
