Thermo and NanoPin Announce Collaboration
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a collaboration with NanoPin Technologies, Inc. to improve blood-based infectious disease detection technology through the development of highly sensitive LC–MS‑based workflows.
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) has announced a collaboration with NanoPin Technologies, Inc. (New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) to improve blood-based infectious disease detection technology through the development of highly sensitive liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)âbased workflows.
The companies will combine Thermo Fisher’s LC–MS technology with NanoPin’s diagnostic platform to detect disease-related antigens directly from patient blood samples, which will lead to the development of sensitive clinical assays for infectious disease. The overall aim is to reduce diagnosis times and improve the determination of infection stage, as well as monitor patient response to prescribed treatments.

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.
