  • Investigational Brain Cancer Vaccine To Be Tested In Phase I Roswell Park Study

    A new clinical research study at Roswell Park Cancer Institute(RPCI) will test a first-of-its-kind cancer “vaccine” that may prove effective against many forms of solid-tumor cancers.

  • The Real Threat To Biopharma Supply Chains: Bioprocessing Materials

    The COVID-19 induced risk to biopharma is not a shortage of pharmaceutical ingredients. It’s the constricting supply of consumable materials and equipment necessary to produce therapies from them. Mike Piccarreta, Partner at Kearney, offers an outlook and practical advice on supply stabilization in this BioProcess Online exclusive. 

  • Merck Assesses Single Use: Does It Make Sense At A Large Scale?

    In an industry as conservative as the pharmaceutical industry, it is common practice to be adverse to new technologies because they are often viewed as too much of a risk. However, in this effort to play it safe, companies force themselves into a repetitive state of employing technologies that may not be the most efficient or effective. Rather than getting stuck in old habits — or conversely, jumping too quickly into new ones — Merck has put together a group of teams it calls the Technology Encouragement Collaborators, or TEC, to look at new technologies and determine whether or not to implement them.

3M Purification's core filtration technologies address the most demanding applications in pharmaceutical processing for small molecule and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) applications.

Natrix HD Membranes offer a breakthrough in membrane architecture that will forever change downstream purification. Available in two chemistries: Q (strong anion exchange) and Sb (strong cation exchange and hydrophobic group).

The ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 rocker features integrated temperature sensors and load cells, designed for convenient handling and control of cell cultures up to 25 L. A filter heater is delivered with the system.

The Allegra X-30 Series Benchtop Centrifuges were designed with your needs in mind providing you with excellent performance and easy operation in a compact design that saves you valuable time and laboratory space.
The SPRIworks Fragment Library Systems have built-in size selection and prepare fragment libraries for all three major next generation sequencing platforms. SPRIworks Systems simplify and automate fragment library construction for the Illumina Genome Analyzers, Roche GS FLX DNA Sequencer and Life Technologies SOLiD Sequencers.

The Aquasyn tank bottom valve is a reliable solution for your tank outlet needs, with its conical profile allows for complete drainability and the prevention of deadlegs or entrapment areas.

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.

Elevating your laboratory’s potential starts with the optimal tabletop ultracentrifuge. And the Optima MAX Series is the absolute top of the line. Reaching up to 150,000 rpm and over 1,000,000 x g, Optima MAX instruments set the standard in tabletop speed.
