Peak Scientific has announced a new partnership with SEKO logistics intended to optimize its supply chains across the Chinese and U.S. markets.
Peak Scientific has announced a new partnership with SEKO logistics intended to optimize its supply chains across the Chinese and U.S. markets. The deal will allow Peak to ship products in bulk using sea freight, helping to reduce transportation cost, achieve a steady flow of product, and improve response times for its customers.
David Williamson, Peak Scientific’s Global Supply Chain and Logistics Manager, praised the visibility and logistical agility the partnership with SEKO provided.
“We have been actively going through a logistic change procedure to optimize our supply chain and SEKO has been integral to this process,” said Williamson
SEKO’s advanced shipment visibility and reporting tools, which provide real-time updates of products both locally and globally, were a driving factor in the partnership, allowing Peak customers to receive accurate and timely information on their purchases.

GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
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.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
