Rethinking the Economics of Chromatography: New Technologies and Hidden Costs

by Tim N. Warner and Sam Nuchumson, Pall Life Sciences If the hidden expenses associated with laboratory purchases ? labor, cleaning, buffers, validation, time delays ? are identified, reduced processing costs, higher throughput, and accelerated time-to-market are possible. This comparison between resin and membrane chromatography helps shed light on some hidden costs.

Using Amino Acid Analysis to Determine Absorptivity Constants: A Validation Case Study Using Bovine Serum Albumin

by John C. Anders, aaiPharma, Inc., Benne F. Parten, Glenn E. Petrie , Robert L. Marlowe , and John E. McEntire Amino acid analysis (AAA) of well-recovered residues offers an easy way to calculate the absorptivity constant for a known protein. The method provides an absolute measure of protein concentration, free from interference from water, excipients, and bound salts. This article demonstrates a qualified method for determining protein content by AAA.

Optimized Nutrient Additives for Fed-Batch Cultures

by Stephen F. Gorfien, GIBCO Cell Culture R&D, Invitrogen Corporation William Paul, David Judd, Lia Tescione, and David W. Jayme Cell density, longevity, and expression are the economics of cell cultures in biopharmaceutical production ? and rich growth media are the investment. Glucose and glutamine are primary energy sources for culture growth, but their associated metabolic wastes can actually harm cell cultures. Adapting cell lines to reduced levels of glucose and glutamine, then feeding the culture chemically defined nutrient supplements, increases cell viability, maximizes cell density, and increases product expression.
