CHROMacademy Training Debuts in Africa
The 3rd African Liquid Chromatography Workshop was held on 6–10 October 2014 in Nairobi, Kenya, at the ChromAfrica Training Centre.
The 3rd African Liquid Chromatography Workshop was held on 6–10 October 2014 in Nairobi, Kenya, at the ChromAfrica Training Centre. The workshop featured five days of lectures and laboratory practicals on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method development, column selection, and sample preparation. Merlin Bicking of ACCTA in Minnesota, USA, delivered training to 10 students from both government and private laboratories. Columns were supplied by Supelco and Agilent Technologies for use in the demonstrations. On-line CHROMacademy sections on sample preparation and solid-phase extraction (SPE) were an important part of the training.

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.
