  • Efficiency Test Of ReadyToProcess™ Columns

    ReadyToProcess™ columns are prepacked, prequalified, and presanitized process chromatography columns suited for purification of biopharmaceuticals (e.g., proteins, vaccines, plasmids, and viruses) for clinical phase I and II studies. ReadyToProcess columns are available with several media at different volumes (1, 2.5, 10, and 20 L).

  • Determination Of kLa Values Of Single-Use Bioreactors

    Because single use bioreactors offered by  manufacturers vary in parameters critical for oxygen transfer, they are often not comparable to each other and to conventional glass and stainless steel vessels.

  • Biomanufacturing Debottlenecking And Process Optimization

    Optimizing biomanufacturing is particularly challenging because of variability and complexity associated with the sharing of finite and interdependent resources. By BIO-G

  • Agilent Microarray Grant Application Support White Paper This guide offers an overview of Agilent’s microarray and SureSelect product offerings with ordering details to assist researchers with the details of grant submission.
  • Global Biochemical Profiling For Bioprocess Optimization

    It is widely understood that the production phase of bioprocessing can have a significant impact on the overall profitability of the biopharmaceutical.

  • Biomanufacturing Flexibility

    This white paper from BIO-G looks at how to create flexible, agile manufacturing facilities to respond to the current glut of biomanufacturing capacity and industry consolidation. Future proofing these facilities for higher titers and multiple product lines is also explored.
