Trajan Scientific and Medical (Victoria, Australia) has completed the acquisition of the chromatography and liquid handling businesses of SGE Analytical Science (Ringwood, Victoria, Australia).
SGE was founded in 1961 in Australia by Ern Dawes, and has remained within the Dawes family for over 50 years. The business has grown to 300 staff worldwide, with manufacturing operations in Ringwood, Australia, and subsidiary offices in the USA, Europe, and Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, Trajan has acquired these sites along with all shareholdings.
“Trajan’s goal is to bring together a group of leading companies with a common focus in the areas of biological, environmental, and food analysis. SGE is an ideal platform for Trajan, with a global footprint and a depth of capability and infrastructure, servicing the leading companies in analytical science” said Stephen Tomisich, CEO of Trajan.

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.
