Thermo Fisher Scientific Receives Microsoft Award

A recent study measured stress and reproductive hormones in three stocks of free-ranging bottlenose dolphins inhabiting different natural salinities across the Gulf of Mexico, with hormones extracted from the blubber of 82 remotely biopsied dolphins and quantified using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with orbitrap fusion mass spectrometry.

Crucial phosphorylated compounds can be analyzed by a polymeric iHILIC-(P) Classic HILIC column and MS. The method is applicable for targeted and non-targeted metabolomics.

Deriving 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.

“Strange blobs” that started washing up on Newfoundland’s shores months ago may have been identified through a Canadian chemist’s investigation using mass spectrometry (MS).
