3 Factors To Prevent Protein Aggregation For Your Protein Purification Buffer

Before you purify your first batch of a new protein it is important to know what buffer you might want to use to keep precipitation of proteins to a minimum.

  • Singapore Single-Cell Research Center Opens Door For Asian Biological Discoveries

    Government officials, academic, and industry leaders gathered to celebrate the official opening of the Single-Cell Omics Centre (SCOC) in Singapore today. It is the first research centre in Asia exclusively dedicated to accelerating the understanding of how individual cells work, and how diagnosis and treatment might be enhanced through insight derived from single cells.

  • Innate Pharma Presents New Data For Proprietary Programs Targeting TLR3 And KIR3DL2

    Innate Pharma SA (EURONEXT PARIS: IPH), the innate immunity company developing first-in-class drugs for cancer and inflammatory diseases, announces today that new preclinical data for two proprietary programs were presented at the Molecular Pattern Recognition Receptors meeting and the American Association for Cancer Research ("AACR") annual meeting.

  • FDA Approves New Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Made Using Novel Technology

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced that it has approved Flublok, the first trivalent influenza vaccine made using an insect virus (baculovirus) expression system and recombinant DNA technology. Flublok is approved for the prevention of seasonal influenza in people 18 through 49 years of age.

  • Guidelines For Proper Filtration And Delivery Of Samples To On-Line Process Analyzers

    Increasingly precise process control strategies, often linked to computer control, have accelerated the use of sophisticated on-line chemical composition analyzers in plant applications. Instruments such as gas and liquid chromatographs, ion chromatographs, laser optic instruments, atomic absorption instruments and specific ion analyzers, which were rarities in laboratories ten years ago, are now found routinely in plant settings. By Ken Perrotta, Division Engineering Manager

  • 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.

  • Met One Sensors Resistant To Vaporous Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) Pharmaceutical manufacturers often require an aseptic production environment to minimize the presence of microbes and their potential contamination of the manufactured product.
  • Compound Profiling And Toxicity

    Utilizing a systems approach to drug discovery has generated a multitude of high affinity compounds for various classes of molecular targets with different degrees of disease state validation.

  • Proven Long Life Lasers™ In Optical Particle Counters Optical particle counters (OPC) utilize light illumination and extinction to determine the presence, size, number and/or concentration of particles. Particles are typically suspended in a fluid or air, which flow through the volume that is illuminated and viewed by the detection system.
  • Important Considerations For Implementing A Single-Use Biomanufacturing Strategy

    Recent trends in biomanufacturing technology and the biopharmaceutical market are supporting the increased adoption of single-use (SU) manufacturing systems. On the demand-side, the biopharma industry is focusing on niche and rare diseases with smaller patient populations, resulting in the need for smaller, more agile biomanufacturing capacity. By Jodi M. Zobrist and Nicole W. O'Brien, Ph. D., Gallus Biopharmaceuticals, LLC
