Peak Scientific and Macfarlane Packaging have been awarded the “Supply Chain Solution of the Year Award” at the 2018 UK Packaging Awards.
Peak Scientific and Macfarlane Packaging have been awarded the “Supply Chain Solution of the Year Award” at the 2018 UK Packaging Awards.
The companies collaborated on “Project McLaren” to create protective and sustainable packaging for transporting the Peak’s laboratory gas generation products to global exhibitions. The project takes its name from Peak’s Exhibition Manager of 20 years, Ann McLaren.
The new compact exhibition packaging solutions is reusable, replacing the single use wooden crates previously used to transport its gas generators to exhibitions.
‘‘I am delighted that Project McLaren has won Supply Chain Solution of the Year at this years’ UK Packaging Awards. This award recognizes the collaborative and innovative work of both MacFarlane Packaging and Peak Scientific,” said David Williamson, Global Supply Chain and Logistics Manager at Peak Scientific.
“This new packaging solution meets our exhibition packaging needs perfectly, transporting product more cost effectively and safely through the supply chain, while promoting brand awareness.”

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.
