  High-Throughput Osmometry   Product: Advanced 20G osmometer Applications: Cell culture process development and optimization Features: New approaches to accelerate cell culture process development and optimization require higher sample throughput for osmolality testing. The Advanced 20G high-throughput osmometer was developed by combining state-of-the-art osmometry technology and robotics within a parallel sample processing scheme. Samples can be analyzed in 96-well format within 35 minutes, with the same accuracy as provided by stand-alone osmometers. This system has been applied to support osmolality…

IBC’s 28th Annual Antibody Development and Prodution

Antibody Development and Production covers the entire spectrum of topics related to development and production of the most promising therapeutics in the biopharmaceutical industry. An estimated 30% of new drug products likely to be licensed in the next decade will be antibodies. With the reality of their biosimilar equivalents getting closer, companies need to develop processes faster to preserve their time on the market free from generic competition and keep costs down. With that in mind, we developed the 2012…

Clinical Development of Biosimilars

    Biosimilars require comparative studies that are different from the typical placebo-control clinical trials for first-generation proteins. A typical clinical trial programs must show equivalence of a biosimilar to the originator protein. Hans-Peter Guler, senior vice president of clinical development at INC Research, recently discussed with me the primary objectives and approaches to conducting an equivalence design.   By contrast with trials for originator proteins, equivalence trials require a different statistical approach. The biosimilars company needs agreement from the…

Applied Biosystems® GoPure™ Prepacked Chromatography Columns

Convenient, flexible, and efficient purification of biomolecules

GoPureâ„¢ Pre-packed Columns: A high performance, flexible purification platform

Single-use technologies have been widely utilized in upstream processes for many years. Interest in improving operational efficiency, speeding facility turn around and elimination of product carryover risk is now driving adoption of ready-to-connect filtration and purification modules in downstream processing.For chromatography, performance and flexibility that is equivalent to traditional self-pack columns is a prerequisite for use in multiproduct facilities. This webcast will describe GoPureâ„¢ Pre-packed Chromatography Columns and a custom packing process for third party resins. Case studies will be presented that demonstrate column packing process stability and scalability.
