Water for GCMS Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carbon containing compounds that evaporate easily at normal temperatures. They are typically generated from petroleum products, plastics, paints and solvents,. Other sources are the disinfecting agents used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water. Disinfecting agents react with naturally occurring organic matter in the source water to produce VOCs known as trihalomethanes. When VOCs are spilled or improperly disposed of a portion will evaporate, but some will soak into the ground and eventually end up in drinking water supplies
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.
