  • A Welcome Predictability

    Synthetic biology is the latest and most advanced phase of genetic engineering, holding great promise for helping to solve some of the world's most intractable problems, including the sustainable production of energy fuels and critical medical drugs, and the safe removal of toxic and radioactive waste from the environment.

  • Is The Single-Use Standardization Debate Slowing Down Adoption?

    Without single-use standardization, the customization required to build a single-use facility may prevent a full-scale adoption of single-use technology. So how do we move forward? Maybe, by taking a look back.

A proven method for confirming protein purity and yield without the need for gel staining steps. Stain-free gels provide visual confirmation of protein purity and yield by gel electrophoresis in less than 30 minutes. Stain-free technology is perfect for drug discovery, drug development, and method development for preclinical research.

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.

Mixed-mode chromatography resin is a top tier selection for the manipulation, purification and handling of molecules; providing an unmatched level of separation properties and resolution. The combination of cation exchange resin and metal affinity resin properties, allows multimodal chromatography to provide an access route for biomolecules to separate and the use of alternative chromatographic methods make these biomolecules seem homogenous.

Encompassing two leading-edge processes, multi-zone microporous membrane construction and Advanced Pleating Technolog (APT) design, LifeASSURE™ PSA Series filters offer robust 0.20 and 0.10 micron absolute-rated filtration and exceptionally long service life.

It spins volumes.

With six-liter capacity and an innovative range of rotors, carriers, and adapters, this versatile centrifuge can handle multiple high capacity applications. Ideal for bioprocessing and clinical and blood sample preparation, the J6-MI is the standard for quiet and convenient operation.

The Pyros Kinetix® Flex is an optical tube reader that runs both chromogenic and turbidimetric assays in compliance with the USP, EP, and JP bacterial endotoxin test chapters.

Another proven method for cGMP processing is also available now using drums, a conical drum funnel and drum lifts.

Water for Injection (WFI) Quality Water is the most suitable water available for producing cell culture media, reconstitution of biochemical reagents, and as a final rinse water for critical applications. WFI Quality Water meets both EP and USP grade specifications and is 0.1µm sterile filtered at time of fill.
