Corporate Retrospective 2007: Peak Scientific
When Peak Scientific started manufacturing gas generators in 1997, we knew that there was a huge potential for our gas generation products, which include nitrogen generators for LC–MS as well as hydrogen, ultra high purity nitrogen, and zero air generators for GCs. 10 years later, we are still amazed by the rapid growth of the market not only for gas generator products but also for those instruments that require gas to analyze samples, such as LC–MS and GC.

This fast-moving market has enabled us to grow rapidly and soon made us realize that there was a necessity to operate worldwide. Our global operation has then enabled us to win the Queen's Award for Enterprise for three consecutive years of outstanding performance in the Export Markets in 2004.
Our big success, especially in North America, has prompted us to open a fully operational office in Massachusetts to further develop the North American Market and make Peak Scientific the "Industry's First Choice for Gas Generator Products."
Having achieved this aim with the help of major instrument manufacturers, we want to continue to establish our brand name and offer the best and most reliable products as well as service and support.
In the future, our market will continue to be primarily focused on the design, development, and manufacture of gas generators suitable to operate analytical instruments, in particular, LC–MS, and GC. People are now beginning to realize that gas generators can eliminate the health and safety hazards posed by gas cylinders and also provide you with a convenient and effective solution to your total gas requirements.
We are still very far away from market stagnation or market saturation, and with many new product developments planned here at Peak Scientific, we still see the market evolving.
Peak Scientific will continue their good work with instrument manufacturers and customers, and together, we will see the market continuing to flourish.

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.
