4 Reasons Why It Makes Sense To Bank Parental Cells According To cGMPs
By Life Technologies
Quality standards are often difficult to properly anticipate across today's global regulatory environments. In recent years, quality expectations have increased due to public demand and to government regulation. This article explores some important considerations when determining quality standards for parental cell lines.


Skip Steps In Cell Culturing
By Beckman Coulter, Inc.
With Cell Culture Flask Adapters, the culture can be centrifuged directly in the flask. Data illustrates that cell yield, cell viability, and endpoint analysis results are comparable when cell cultures are processed traditionally or centrifuged directly in the flask using Cell Culture Flask Adapters.

Spotlight On Cell Culture

Cells Disruption By Means Of High Pressure Homogenization
After the fermentation of cells, the culture is processed to separate the cells by means of a high-speed centrifuge in order to concentrate them. The collected cells are resuspended with buffer in order to prepare them for the next unit operation, the high-pressure homogenization used in order to obtain the cells disruption.


Case Study: Using Freeze-Drying Microscopes (FDM) To Improve Cycles
A customer approached BTL with a product that was being freeze dried using a generic cycle (which was applied to a number of other products). It was failing to meet the required moisture threshold (no more than 2%) and each batch was therefore rejected.


Turning Data Into Information
As biopharmaceutical manufacturing has evolved from small-scale lab production in small flasks to massive commercial production in deep-tank bioreactors, an avalanche of production data has evolved to support it. From individual unit operation skids to distributed control systems and enterprise resource planning tools, biomanufacturing today is buried by the sheer quantity of data coming in from the manufacturing floor.


Solutions For Cell Culture Growth And Analysis
Thermo Scientific Nunc cell culture products have been used by researchers worldwide for the past 55 years. Most cell culture products are tested with four different cell lines to ensure monolayer formation and consistent cloning efficiency.
