5 Ways To Avoid Cell Culture Contamination
By Bionique
Cell culture research and engineering have greatly impacted human health, ranging from vaccine manufacturing to stem cell therapies, cell-based assays, and cancer immunotherapeutic products. Critical to the success of these applications is the quality of the cultures used. The following article offers suggestions on management and protection of your cultures.


BridgeSourcing: A Fast, Flexible Alternative To Conventional CMO Outsourcing
By Xcellerex
For many developers of new biologics, outsourcing clinical or commercial manufacturing with a CMO makes good sense. Dozens of capable CMOs offer ready capacity to companies who can't afford the time, capital or risk involved in building their own biomanufacturing capacity.
