Shimadzu Wins Two Red Dot Design Awards
Shimadzu has received two Red Dot Design Awards in the product design category for its new Nexera UHPLC series LC-40 and UV-1900 UV–vis spectrophotometer.
Shimadzu (Duisburg, Germany) has received two Red Dot Design Awards in the product design category for its new Nexera UHPLC series LC-40 and UV-1900 UV–vis spectrophotometer.
The Red Dot Design Awards are one of the three major design awards in the world with Shimadzu fending off competition to claim this year’s awards. Judged based on innovation, functionality, quality, ergonomics, and durability, more than 5500 products were submitted to the product design category by manufacturers and designers from 55 countries.
The award represents the third time in the company’s history that they have won a Red Dot Design Award, having previously picked up awards in 2013 and 2018.
The award ceremony was held in Essen, Germany, on 8 July 2019. An actual Nexera series instrument and an explanatory panel showing the UV-1900 will be displayed in the city’s Red Dot Museum for the next year.

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.
