ChromSoc Lecturer Visits University of Sunderland
The newly appointed Chromatographic Society Lecturer, Mel Euerby, visited the University of Sunderland in early November in the first official outing of the role.
The newly appointed Chromatographic Society Lecturer, Mel Euerby, visited the University of Sunderland in early November in the first official outing of the role. The position was set up to further the aims of the Society and increase awareness of the importance of chromatography in everyday life and across a wide range of industries. It is hoped that through this increased awareness young scientists will look towards the separation sciences for a career.
As well as delivering a well-received lecture, which focused heavily on the practical aspects of chromatography at the request of the University, Euerby also visited Sunderland’s analytical instrumentation teaching facility advising students on their liquid chromatography method development exercises and answering questions on the opportunities that studying chromatography offer.
Euerby’s next formal Chromatographic Society trip is to the University of Dundee and Galway University, however, the Chromatographic Society is currently organizing a range of future visits; if you would like to enquire for your own institute please contact the society by e-mail at chromsoc@meetingmakers.co.uk
If Mel Euerby is not available the Society has also drafted fellow members of the Executive Committee to help in this new endeavour.

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.
