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

Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic Hydroxyapatite
Conventional techniques for mammalian virus purification produce variable quality, quantity, and significant loss of particle infectivity. We propose the chromatographic separation of viral particles of diverse sizes and from different families such as dengue, influenza, mouse hepatitis, adenovirus, poliovirus using CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite resin.

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.

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
