  • 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

  • Turning Data Into Information

    As biopharmaceutical manufacturing has evolved from small-scale lab production in small flasks to massive commercial production in deep-tank bioreactors, an avalanche of production data has evolved to support it. From individual unit operation skids to distributed control systems and enterprise resource planning tools, biomanufacturing today is buried by the sheer quantity of data coming in from the manufacturing floor.

  • Metal Removal From Fine Chemical Products

    Metal contamination in various injectable or even oral medicines is a serious concern.

  • Rapid Screening Of A Cell-Based Assay For GLP-1 Receptor Using A Natural Product Library

    Here we demonstrate the detection of GLP-1R binding through the incorporation of a homogeneous cell-based binding assay using HTRF Tag-lite® technology. By Brad Larson and Peter Banks, BioTek Instruments, Inc. and Nicolas Pierre, Suzanne Graham, Jean-Luc Tardieu, and François Degorce, Cisbio US, Inc.

  • The Challenge of Measuring Total Organic Carbon In Modern Pharmaceutical Water Systems

    Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is one of the quality attributes defined in the European and USA pharmacopoeias for pharmaceutical waters. Modern water treatment systems can deliver such high purity water that TOC levels can be consistently close to zero and very difficult to measure with any accuracy. This paper discusses some of the challenges when using TOC analysers to demonstrate pharmacopoeial TOC level compliance for modern water systems in the light of the ICH Q2 document from the International Conference on Harmonisation.

  • 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

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.
