The LC/GC Checker app is designed to provide four approaches to check an LC or GC instrument's performance.
IS THERE AN APP FOR THAT?
APP NAME: LC/GC Checker
OFFERED BY: David Baumgartner
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.3.3 and up); iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (requires iOS 6.0 or later; optimized for iPhone 5)
WHAT IT DOES: The LC/GC Checker app is designed to provide four approaches to check an LC or GC instrument's performance. According to the company, it calculates the LC pump flow rate by stop watching the time of the eluent level in a volumetric flask, calculates the GC carrier gas flow based on the column dimension and retention time of a non-retained compound, and assists in measuring flow and temperature accuracy and precision. The app's IP Checker function calculates the injection precision of retention times, peak heights, or areas for repeated analyses.
COST: $6.04 (Android); $5.99 (iTunes)
Detangling the Complex Web of GC × GC Method Development to Support New Users

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.
