Single use powder containment practices are still in their infancy but keeping your product from cross contamination and reducing airborne particulates is important. Understanding how more modern bag designs can increase safety and speed is a concern to the industry. We looked at the ease of fill along with dispensing times and product loss. ILC Dover’s EZ-Biopac shows a 71% decrease in filling times when measured against an industry standard 2D bag. Due to the non-static film we saw an…
The immune system is at the center of a new era in effective strategies to treat cancer leading to significant growth in the immunooncology sector, and the development of competing technologies to further improve patient survival rates. Essential to the successful development of cancer immunotherapeutics are ex vivo and in vitro assays to: Confirm mode of action Compare activity with competitors Identify lead candidates Evaluate and select combinations At Abzena, we have developed a suite of assays to confirm and…
Finesse Solutions Inc. recently introduced the single-use benchtop scale SmartVessel 3L bioreactor, which was developed based on its re-usable counterpart, the SmartGlass bioreactor. With identical main geometrical parameters, the plastic bioreactor mimics the glass vessel with minor modifications for manufacturability. The following study focuses on the engineering data of both vessels, which have been determined with special focus on animal cell culture applications. Furthermore, data from material tests on leachables and extractables as well as results from cell cultivations using…
