Andrew Lidums (NA business development manager, Parker domnick hunter) 2:30–2:55 pm Implementing a Risk-Management–Based Approach to the Prevention of Mycoplasma Contaminations Lidums began with a recent report from Genentech, where a 150-µm long Leptospira organism from a drainage ditch outside the facility managed to penetrate 0.1-µm filters. The company solved this problem by lowering the temperature of the filtration operation, which made the bacteria more rigid and kept them from getting through. Clearly, however, contaminations happen even at large facilities.…

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Prediction of Mixer Scale-Up: imPULSE™ Single-Use Mixing Systems
ASI-Life Sciences commissioned a CFD study of our imPULSE single-use mixing systems to predict and characterize the mixing performance of the systems across small, medium and large vessels and fluid viscosities. One characterization from the study as you will see in Figure 1 of the poster was the rate at which the momentum from the mixing disc transferred through the fluid. As you can see in the Figure within 5 seconds, fluid motion was achieved in the 250 L, 1,500…
