EMD Millipore, the Life Science business of Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany, today introduced a new technology that compacts dry powder cell culture media into granules, accelerating solubility and improving flowability and handling. The compacted media are therefore more convenient to use, allowing biopharmaceutical manufacturers to further optimize their upstream processes. The technology is water- and additive-free and applies compression force to EMD Millipore’s highly homogenous dry powder media, fixing that homogeneity in place and creating granules several millimeters in…
