Adam Hall Wins VUV Analytics Fall 2016 Academic Grant
VUV Analytics has awarded Adam Hall their fall 2016 academic grant, providing Hall’s laboratory with VUV detectors to perform novel research in the field of forensic chemistry.
VUV Analytics has awarded Adam Hall their fall 2016 academic grant, providing Hall’s laboratory with VUV detectors to perform novel research in the field of forensic chemistry. “We are excited to have been selected by VUV Analytics as the recipient of their academic grant programme,” said Hall.
Hall is the director of the mass spectrometry facility at The Barnett Institute of Chemical and Biological Analysis at Northeastern University, in Massachusetts, USA. Established in 1973, the Barnett Institute is a centre for advanced interdisciplinary research in the chemical analysis sciences. Hall’s own research focuses on the development of instrumental methods for the analysis of forensically relevant materials including drugs of abuse, ignitable liquids, and explosives.
“VUV Analytics is thrilled to award Northeastern University and help advance the excellent research taking place at the Barnett Institute of Chemical and Biological Analysis,” said Sean Jameson, Vice President of Business Development at VUV Analytics. “We received a significant number of high quality proposals, and Dr. Hall’s research seems well suited to VUV absorption technology. We look forward to seeing how he solves difficult forensic-related challenges with our detector.”

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
