Miniaturization of Bioprocess Unit Operations - Accelerating Bioprocess Development

Large scale bioproduction process development involves a large number of individual processes and potential variables, and is generally more labor-intensive, time-consuming and expensive than its non-biological counterpart. High throughput techniques have been developed to mimic all the relevant processes used in the biopharmaceutical industry, allowing rapid and comprehensive automated characterization of proposed processes prior to pilot scale realization.

Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELN) Mean Many Things to Many People

What is an Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN)? What function does it serve? Where does it fit within my laboratory informatics strategy? Do we need an ELN, and if so what would be best for the needs that exist within my company? When to use an ELN, LIMS or both? These are all important questions, and unfortunately, they are questions that are being asked with increasing frequency due to a lack of clarity in the market. more08.02.2012

Berghof's Hotblock Digestion System

Berghof has added Environmental Express's, Hotblock digestion systems. This Company has modernized acid digestion of easy-to-digest samples such as waste, soil, sludge, wastewater etc. by introducing the principle of disposability. Up to 96 samples are digested simultaneously in disposable vessels in the PTFE-coated graphite heating blocks, "Hotblocks". The same vessel is worked with from weighing in through to spectroscopic analysis. It is not necessary to transfer the sample solution at any time; contamination is prevented effectively. more04.02.2012
