Anurag Rathore, Pharmacia Corporation and Ajoy Velayudhan Optimizing your purification and separation process when your complex biological feedstock is ready for scale-up can be daunting. Your design process can be streamlined, simplified, and made cost efficient if you supplement your empirical approach with the theoretical and experimental tools presented in this article.
by Mark Tuomenoska, OpenReach, Inc. and Jim Miller, Bio/Pharmaceutical Outsourcing Report Outsourcing can be a booster rocket in the race to patent and market innovative products.
by Leaford Blevins and Tom Gerbo, HDR Facility design can affect the bottom line in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The authors offer insights about what to look for and what to consider in facility design ? whether you're retrofitting an existing facility or building from the ground up.

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.

by Patrick Clinton, BioPharm International As FDA moves toward a new vision of GMP regulations, BioPharm International asked industry experts some key quextions: What form will risk-based GMPs take? What are the benefits and costs for biotech? Will the change really encourage innovation? And, most important, can FDA leaders get field inspectors to buy into the new approach?

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.

by Vicki Cloutier, Guidant Corporation It's not enough to train your staff ? you have to keep training them. A good learning management system can help.
High-purity low-endotoxin sugars improve robustness and stability of protein formulation and improve drug product quality.
Understanding differences in bioreactor lifecycle, design space, and product platforms is important for selecting a bioreactor type.

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.
by John Dougherty, Eli Lilly and Company, Rohin Mhatre, Biogen, Inc., and Stephen Moore, CDER FDA and biopharmaceutical industry stakeholders reach consensus on critical issues related to the use of peptide maps as identity tests for proteins and on their usefulness for lot release tests. The results of that discussion are presented here.
