Peak Scientific Expands Latin America Operations
Peak Scientific has expanded its operations in Latin American (LATAM), moving to a new, larger premise with the aim of developing its support capabilities in the growing LATAM market.
Peak Scientific (Inchinnan, Scotland, UK) has expanded its operations in Latin American (LATAM), moving to a new, larger premise with the aim of developing its support capabilities in the growing LATAM market.
Establishing its presence in Brazil in 2012 with just one employee, Peak Scientific have grown considerably-enough to justify a new office in São Paulo, in a space over 3 times larger than where the company had been operating from previously.
“The hard work of our team in Brazil has been the foundation for this successful expansion and the opening of our new office was a great time to recognize that work,” said Fabiano Kauer, General Manager for Peak in Latin America.
“The investment in the new larger office enables us to continue to increase our headcount to support the growth we have been experiencing,” added Kauer.
Peak selected the new premises with the future in mind as they fully expect the LATAM team to grow as their market share increases. - L.B.

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.
