DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING FEATURED ARTICLES
Scientists from VIB, KU Leuven, UGent and Harvard have succeeded in reconstructing DNA and proteins from prehistoric yeast cells. This made it possible to determine how genes developed and evolved into their current form over more than 100 million years.

Materials Of Construction For Biopharmaceutical Water Systems
Stainless steels are uniquely qualified for bioprocessing applications not only because of their long service life, availability, and fabricability, but also because they are non-corroding, non-contaminant, can be polished to very smooth finishes, are strong and rigid, can withstand heat and chemical sterilization treatments, and are easily welded.

Comparability Of The Cell-Freeze® (Charter Medical) Freezing Bag To The Cryocyte™ (Baxter) Bag For Cryogenic Storage Of Human Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Successful cryopreservation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is dependent upon a number of factors, including the biopreservation media, freezing rates, and storage using sterile, cryogenically durable storage bags. The Cell-Freeze® cryogenic storage containers are 510(k) cleared for storage, preservation and transfer of hematopoietic progenitor stem cells (HPC’s). By Charter Medical, Ltd.
