Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic HydroxyapatiteConventional 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.

Economic Analysis Of Single-Use Tangential Flow Filtration For Biopharmaceutical Applications Prior to creating an accurate economic model for TFF, a thorough understanding of the process where the TFF is used is needed. A process model is a valuable tool when properly executed and it must accurately include all critical aspects of the purification process. By Michael LaBreck, Mark Perreault, Novasep

Comparing The Automated Pipetting To Volumetric Glassware And Air Displacement Pipettes
Analytical sample preparation is used in many industries such as forensics, environmental chemistry, mining, beer and wine fermentation and many others. Concentrated samples are diluted and analyzed via High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption, and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to name a few. Traditionally these samples are prepared using volumetric glassware, syringes and/or pipettes.

Storage of pharmaceutical compounds is a function of the storage process and not a specific containment driven requirement per se. This is the case whether you are processing in a contained fashion or performing non-contained processing into open kegs with simple drum liners.
ILC Dover brings a unique history and skill set to the biopharmaceutical industry, particularly single use biopharmaceutical powder handling and containment equipment.
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.
