  • Population Genetics Validates GenomePooling For Cancer

    Population Genetics Technologies Ltd., creator of innovative methods for genetic analyses and biomarker discovery, has successfully completed a pilot study to prove that its GenomePooling method is sensitive and accurate enough to detect even small percentages of gene variants within cancer tissue. This validates the method’s suitability for use in IntReALL 2010, the world’s largest genetic analysis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) relapse cases. ALL is the most common childhood malignant disease.

ARTeSYN arterial process valves can be arranged in a multitude of orientations. They can be arranged with individual straight through valves for quick assembly and break down or in multi-valve arrays to facilitate even the lowest hold up volume requirements.

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.

PureFlo hydrophobic polyethylene (PE) membrane filters, gamma compatible and ideal alternative to PVDF. Mold injected capsules with multiple inlet / outlet options including sanitary ‘T’ clamps, hose barbs, quick sanitary connectors, elbows and threads. Almost any combination of connecting inlet or outlet is possible with over 30 options. High gas flow at low differential pressure due to encapsulation geometries and polyethylene (PE) membrane. Full validation supporting documents are available. Ideal for tube sets and hook up to bioreactors, fermenters, biocontainer, biobags, wave bags or single use fermenters.

ZenPure’s in-company mold design and injection capabilities, filter production and quality assurance facilitate manufacturing audit and product traceability that meet the highest industry standards.

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.

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.
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.

Pure-Fit® SC is an innovative new connective technology that makes it possible to create true sterile connections anywhere – even outside the clean room environment.

Our upstream process equipment including bioreactors, roller culture equipment and incubators. Small scale consumables and glassware contained in this section include, staining ware, tissue grinders, spinner flasks, and magnetic stirrers.
