Eurofins Announces Tsing Hua Acquisition
Eurofins Scientific has announced the acquisition of Tsing Hua Testing & Analysis Co., Ltd. (Tsing Hua), a leading environmental testing company in Taiwan.
Eurofins Scientific has announced the acquisition of Tsing Hua Testing & Analysis Co., Ltd. (Tsing Hua), a leading environmental testing company in Taiwan.
Employing around 240 staff and headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, Tsing Hua provides a comprehensive suite of testing services for wastewater, drinking water, ground water, fuel gas, ambient air, noise, soil, and waste. The company also has subsidiary sites in Taichung, Taiwan, and sales offices in four other Taiwan cities.
“The acquisition of Tsing Hua provides Eurofins with a solid entry in the environment testing market in Taiwan,” said Gilles Martin, Eurofins CEO.
“This acquisition will reinforce the Group’s growing footprint in Asia; in return Tsing Hua will gain access to the full range of services and capabilities of the Eurofins Group, which will significantly expand Tsing Hua’s testing portfolio for the benefit of its customers. The acquisition of Tsing Hua, together with the acquisition of ABM in 2017, another Taiwanese company providing food testing services, are a clear demonstration of Eurofins’ commitment to expand its operations in Asia in general and in Taiwan in particular,” continued Martin.

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.
