SepSolve Analytical Ltd has opened a state‑of‑the-art laboratory and training facility in Waterloo, Canada, to improve its service to North American customers.
SepSolve Analytical Ltd (Peterborough, UK) has opened a stateâofâthe-art laboratory and training facility in Waterloo, Canada, to improve its service to North American customers. The Canadian site complements existing SepSolve offices in Sacramento, California, USA, and Frankfurt, Germany.
The opening of the new facility was celebrated with a workshop on October 3rd featuring talks from Tadeusz Górecki and Jonathan Grandy, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada, and Gwen O’Sullivan, Mount Royal University, Calgary, Canada, on the latest developments in analytical chemistry with a particular focus on two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC).
The University of Waterloo is a hub for separation science and sample preparation technologies, so the city makes an ideal location for our new base in North America. Being here will enable us to collaborate with world-leading scientists in the field, which will in turn ensure that we can continue to provide our clients with truly innovative products and first-class service,” said Matthew Edwards, SepSolve’s Business Development Manager.

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.
