DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING WHITE PAPERS & CASE STUDIES

  • Accelerating Biopharmaceutical Development From DNA To Drug

    In the last decade, single-use solutions for virtually every bioprocess unit have been developed, and considerable investments have been made by the industry into areas that underpin this technology.

  • Biomanufacturing Supply Chains

    This white paper examines the major issues with biopharmaceutical supply chains and how to balance inventory and risk optimally in the network.

  • 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

  • Cultivation Of Human CAP Cells: Evaluation Of Scale-Down Capabilities

    The following application note illustrates how the DASbox Mini Bioreactor System combined with the BioBLU 0.3c single-use vessels supports bioprocess development in human 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

  • Applications And Integration Of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor For Biotech/Bioprocess

    The increase in size and scale of bio-processing is presenting a new challenge. Traditional methods of sterilisation, to maintain clean facilities, are becoming difficult to deploy in a controlled and regulatory compliant way. By Richard Lucas, Ph.D., Bioquell UK Ltd.

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.

BalanCD® CHO Feed 2 is a chemically-defined protein-free feed medium designed to be added as a fed-batch supplement to promote cell growth and increase process yields of antibodies and recombinant proteins.

Get fast micro-centrifugation in an easy-to-use, compact design. The Beckman Coulter Microfuge® Series offers the performance and reliability you demand—and have come to expect.  Intuitive user interface display, increased speed and capacity, safety, and multiple rotor options are just a few of the many features the Microfuge® offers.

When your instrumentation requires fluid handling equipment, you need more than parts—you need a partner. And that partner is Hamilton Company.

The electro-optical module EOM-O2-mini is a precise OEM solution for non-invasive oxygen sensor spots. Assembled according to ISO 9001:2000 they deliver certified quality.
