Make Innovation Sourcing a Business Strategy
A recent study published by CAPS Research (the research arm of the Institute of Supply Management), underscores the importance of organizations adopting external innovation rather than relying solely on their internal research and development (R&D) efforts. Some companies set goals to increase revenues by adopting external innovation. Procter & Gamble, for instance, wanted to attain 50% of its revenues through external innovations — that is, licensing technologies — over five years (1). A joint project from CAPS Research with Western…
Transfer of Hepatic Progenitor Stem Cell Culture Process from multiple-tray stacks to the Xpansion Multiplate Bioreactor.
Scale-up a stem cell process may be challenging: small variations in physicochemical parameters (surface characteristics, pH and dissolved oxygen) can heavily impact stem cell growth and behavior. The Integrity® Xpansion™ multiplate bioreactors have been designed to enable an easy transfer from multiple-tray stacks process by offering the same cell growth environment: stacked hydrophylized polystyrene plates in a compact and closed system (from 10 to 200 plates per bioreactor equivalent respectively to 6120cm² and 122400cm²). As there is no headspace between…
