The APM is a next generation fluid management solution for single use process systems allowing you to modulate and control flow without having to use your fingers as the control valve.

The SDR SensorDish® Reader is a small 24-channel reader for non-invasive detection of oxygen and pH in disposable 24- or 6-well multidishes. The multidishes contain a sensor spot at the bottom of each well. They are read out non-invasively and non-destructively through the transparent bottom of the multidishes by the SensorDish® Reader placed below them.

Encompassing two leading-edge processes, multi-zone microporous membrane construction and Advanced Pleating Technolog (APT) design, LifeASSURE™ PSA Series filters offer robust 0.20 and 0.10 micron absolute-rated filtration and exceptionally long service life.

Designed with a smaller footprint so it will fit right in your lab, the Avanti J-E is compact yet powerful. The Avanti J-E’s extensive rotor library maximizes capacity and optimizes g-force for efficient, fast separations and greater variety of applications. Its high-torque, switched reluctance (SR) drive technology delivers faster acceleration and deceleration, which means less wait time for you. It offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface, as well as lower energy costs. What’s more, the Avanti J-E’s low height and contoured front panel help ease the burden of rotor installation and retrieval, for even more convenient operation.

Water for Injection (WFI) Quality Water is the most suitable water available for producing cell culture media, reconstitution of biochemical reagents, and as a final rinse water for critical applications. WFI Quality Water meets both EP and USP grade specifications and is 0.1µm sterile filtered at time of fill.

Recirculating hollow fiber systems have been used for a long time with mixed results. The recurring problem with these and all other cell retention systems is the difficulty in scaling up and staying sterile.

Choose from ten fixed volume SoftGrip pipettes covering 0.2 µL to 1 mL. All pipettes have color-coded plunger buttons and labels for easy volume identification.

CHT is a leading purification medium of biomolecules in today’s demanding downstream process industry. Its mixed-mode support offers unique selectivities and often separates biomolecules that appear homogeneous with other chromatographic methods. The diverse binding capabilities of CHT for host cell proteins, leached protein A, antibody dimers and aggregates, nucleic acids, and viruses allow its use at any stage from initial capture to final polishing.

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.
