Sartopore (R) Platinum Sterile Filtration, Redefined

We introduce a new class of Sterile Filtration for Biopharmaceutical industry with Sartopore® Platinum. It offers exceptional total throughput, thanks to its patent-pending TwinPleat technology with 1 m2 area/10†element. At the heart of Sartopore® Platinum are PES membranes permanently hydrophilized with proprietary grafting of thermally stable polymer on to membrane surfaces. This leads to minimal wetting requirements prior to Integrity testing with < 5 L./10†preflush needed in < 1 min. They also offer low Protein Binding and low…

Culture of Normal Human Dermal Fibroblast Cells in a Functionally Closed Automated Cell Expansion System

The Quantum Cell Expansion System is a functionally closed and automated hollow-fiber bioreactor system that is designed to expand both adherent and suspension cells in a reproducible manner. The hollow-fiber membrane requires a coating agent to help facilitate cellular adherence when culturing an adherent cell type such as MSCs. Pooled human cryoprecipitate (CPPT, Bonfils Blood Center) was examined as an alternative to FN because it is a rich source of extracellular matrix components, including fibrinogen (Freedman, 2010), and also because…

A New Mixed-Mode Resin for Large Scale Biomolecule Purification

Chromatographic resins with high capacities and selectivities differing from those seen with traditional hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange media are now in demand. Mixed-mode chromatography media is an alternative. Some mixed-mode resins combine both traditional hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange media. This poster introduces TOYOPEARL® MX-Trp-650M, a high-capacity weak cation mixed-mode resin for the purification of biomolecules. The polymethacrylic base bead was chemically modified with the amino acid tryptophan which combines a weak cationic group with a hydrophobic functional group.…
