Automation To Solve Sample Lysis Bottleneck For Molecular Biology Labs

Hamilton Robotics is launching the Microlab AutoLys STAR workstation, which automates sample lysis and DNA extraction. This innovative instrument improves bottlenecks for forensic scientists and other molecular biologists isolating nucleic acids from samples.

DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

  • Biomanufacturing Complexity

    This white paper addresses one of the most serious challenges facing biomanufacturing professionals today - how to understand and then deal with the extreme complexity associated with biotechnology manufacturing.

  • A Purification Strategy For Clinical-Grade Monoclonal Antibody

    mAbs are currently the most important class of therapeutic proteins. Advances in upstream process technologies have led to tremendous improvement of mAb titers in mammalian cell culture. 

  • 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

  • Avoiding Drug Shortages With Microbial Detection

    Over the past year, critical drug shortages used to treat a host of life-threatening illnesses have been making headlines. Microbial contamination has been cited as a major contributor to the shortage, yet the prevailing practices to ensure the safety of drugs have been slow to change. In most cases, quality assurance practices safeguarding the drug making environment continue to rely on periodic air and a culturing method from a prior century. By Aric Meares, President and CEO, BioVigilant

  • USP <787> Small Volume Testing With Liquid Particle Counters

    By their very nature, biological therapeutics are not only expensive to manufacture but are often produced in small volumes.

  • 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.
