Shimadzu Corporation have opened a new branch in Greater Copenhagen, the country’s economic and scientific heartland, so that the company can directly provide support to its customers. The 350 square metres facility offers Shimadzu’s full range of analytical instrument solutions covering chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, TOC (sum parameter), life sciences, and testing machines solutions, targeting analytical applications in manufacturing and consumer goods industries, the health and environmental sectors.
“We have chosen this location for our office as it connects in two directions”, explained Morten Thorslund, Sales and Service Manager of the Shimadzu Denmark Branch. “There is the Greater Copenhagen region as the country’s economic and scientific heartland, well-known for its chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as the metal-processing sectors. And there are several regional centres all over Denmark, where a lot of food, industrial, universities, and other customers are placed. From this location, we can reach approximately 75% of our customers in a matter of minutes, and the rest within a few hours car ride.”

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.
