Millipore Corporation (Billerica, Massachusetts) announced the availability of the new Milli-Q Integral water purification system, which uses tap water to supply constant-quality Type II (pure) and Type I (ultrapure) water from a single water production unit.
Millipore Launches Water Purification System
Millipore Corporation (Billerica, Massachusetts) announced the availability of the new Milli-Q Integral water purification system, which uses tap water to supply constant-quality Type II (pure) and Type I (ultrapure) water from a single water production unit.
The system combines Millipore's proven superior Elix technology with the best-in-class Milli-Q solution to produce pressurized pure and ultrapure water, providing users with direct control over water quality throughout the entire purification process. Users also benefit from low maintenance and well-controlled running costs, thanks to Elix technology and its ion-exchange resins, which are continuously regenerated by a weak electric current.
Thermo Fisher Scientific Partners with Phytronix Technologies
Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (San Jose, California) announced a strategic partnership with Phytronix Technologies, a Canada-based company, for the use of laser diode thermal desorption (LDTD) technology. LDTD technology enhances the existing Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum LC–MS product portfolio by offering ultra fast sample analysis for both quantitative and qualitative applications in high-throughput drug discovery, drug development, food safety, and environmental applications.
JASCO and Restek Announce Collaboration
JASCO, Inc. (Easton, Maryland) and Restek Corporation (Bellefonte, Pennsylvania) announced a collaboration in the area of UHPLC instrumentation and 1.9-μm UHPLC columns. Restek will supply small particle column kits that will be included with JASCO instruments.
Pittcon 2008 Releases Topics for Conferee Networking Sessions
The Pittsburgh Conference released the topics for the Conferee Networking Sessions (CNS) which will be offered at Pittcon 2008, March 2 —7, 2008, in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Conferee Networking Sessions were first introduced at Pittcon 2007, and the eight sessions offered were reportedly a tremendous success.CNS Chairman Pat Bordell commented, "We were very pleased with the conferee participation in last year's sessions and wanted to build on that success for this year." One of the goals for Pittcon 2008 was to increase the number of sessions to provide more diversity in the program. She further stated, "We believe this year's expanded program that includes 27 sessions will provide a most unique and rewarding networking opportunity for conferees."
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.
