Peak Scientific has given a guided tour of their manufacturing headquarters in Inchinnan, Scotland, to his Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester to mark the company’s 20th anniversary
The recipients of six Queen’s awards for enterprise since 2004, Peak Scientific are well known to members of the royal family, having previously received a royal visit in 2013 from her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, who opened the Cherry Tree House-an extension of Peak Scientific’s headquarters.
The Duke toured Peak’s factory learning about the process of producing laboratory gas generators, and also met with the workforce to learn about the ethos of the company and its history.
“We were honoured to welcome The Duke of Gloucester to our headquarters in celebration of our 20th anniversary. To have our hard work of the past two decades recognized in this way was truly heart-warming, and will remain a proud moment in Peak Scientific’s history,” said Robin MacGeachy, Peak Scientific’s CEO.

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.
