Major Products/Services
-Flex-A-PAL, Flexar™ UHPLC with new PAL-xt: can switch from UHPLC column to HPLC column unattended, for fast, near-zero carryover, reliable automation.
-CombiPAL: multipurpose autosampler, with ITEX combines direct-liquid-injection, static-headspace, SPME, and thermal desorption. Now powered by Chronos Software.
-Falcon Fast Micro GC: matches the speed of the PAL to get samples analyzed quicker with fewer GCs and less power and gas consumption. This one small GC does the work of three.
-Chronos: powerful, easy to install and use sample management software.
-H/D-X PAL™ : Provides an automated process for scheduling and performing label experiments for hydrogen deuterium exchange, followed by direct injection to the LC–MS.
-Collect PAL: features no-loss collection into covered microtiter plates that can be stored in a cooled holder; up to 24 micro plates; used for profiling radio-labeled compounds; short fraction intervals from 3.5 s to 15 s.
-Purific System: large bed fraction collector suitable for production type purifications; open-access approach keeps the system running without interruptions between batches; screen and output file option precisely tracks all the fractions; can be run off a UV or UV and MS triggered peak system with PEAK Harvester software. The Mini-Purific version fits into a fume hood.
-WorkStations: Small stand-alone workstations for repetitive liquid handling steps with mixing, heating, extracting, and weighing.

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.
2024 EAS Awardees Showcase Innovative Research in Analytical Science
November 20th 2024Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, and other leading institutions took the stage at the Eastern Analytical Symposium to accept awards and share insights into their research.
