CD69 Expression On Activated Lymphocytes Is Stable In Streck's Cyto-Chex® BCT
The purpose of this study was to determine if the activation marker, CD69, is preserved and stable in whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex® BCT. Previous studies have demonstrated CD marker stability of whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex BCT for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature (18-22°C). By Jodi Alt, Ph.D

Continuous Biomanufacturing: 10 Reasons Sponsors HesitateThe industry is abuzz with talk about continuous biomanufacturing (CB), and its virtues have been well described. Here we will look at some of the barriers or concerns perceived to limit its value to the industry. Justified or not, quite a few concerns have been expressed regarding the implementation of this new, rather disruptive technology.

Mixed-mode chromatography resin is a top tier selection for the manipulation, purification and handling of molecules; providing an unmatched level of separation properties and resolution. The combination of cation exchange resin and metal affinity resin properties, allows multimodal chromatography to provide an access route for biomolecules to separate and the use of alternative chromatographic methods make these biomolecules seem homogenous.
Time-to-clinic and time-to-market are two key factors in successful biopharmaceutical development.
ÄKTA™ chromatography systems can handle both simple and complex purification tasks and accelerate daily routines. All systems are controlled by UNICORN™ software, a common control platform and user interface for all scales of operation.
Sartopore 2 XLM filter cartridges are especially designed for validated sterilizing grade filtration and reliable Mycoplasma removal of cell culutre media.
