A Global View Of Bio Process And Product Quality
By Wayne Koberstein, contributing editor
First was the word: Quality. Aside from the conference title — the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Science and Standards Symposium on Biologics & Biotechnology — "quality" was ubiquitous as a theme or term in almost all sessions, whether alone as an ideal goal or together with other terms such as control, monitor, and release.


NIH, Industry, And The Translational Science Revolution
By Sara Gambrill, Life Science Leader magazine
The National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) reputation has been built, in large part, on discoveries made during basic science research — original insights about pathways, receptors, and targets for drugs. These discoveries have led to a significant percentage of new drug approvals in most of the major classes of drugs.

Spotlight On Purification

Datasheet: SARTOFLOW® Advanced
The SARTOFLOW Advanced is a modular benchtop crossflow system optimized for the ultrafiltration, microfiltration and diafiltration applications used in many downstream processes, such as purification of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and recombinant proteins.


Case Study: Saccadic Eye Movements And Pupillometry Help Characterize Pharmacodynamic Drug Effects
Two unique techniques, saccadic eye movements and pupillometry, help characterize pharmacodynamic drug effects in healthy subjects. This article explores how these techniques are being applied to investigate the side effect profile of compounds, better understand the mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of CNS disease states, and demonstrate target engagement of drugs.


Guidelines For Scale-Up With 3M Purification Zeta Plus™ Depth Filter Products
Zeta Plus filtration media are widely accepted as the depth filters that meet more criteria of excellence than any comparable product. Their extensive use is a reflection of their versatility and consistent filtration performance.


How To Choose An Industrial Cation Exchanger For IgG Purification
Cation-exchange chromatography is the third most used industrial method for antibody purification after anion exchange and protein A affinity chromatography. It is most commonly used as an intermediate step but continues to attract attention as a capture method.
