• Cell Therapy Scale-Up Strategies For Commercial Success

  This article discusses options for cell therapy process development and validation that minimize risks through quality control (QC), optimization, scaling, closing, automation, and assay development.

• Improving Performance With Real-Time Visibility And Quality

  Litehouse Foods is a leading manufacturer of refrigerated salad dressings, cheeses, dips, sauces, cider, and freeze dried herbs, with a long history of innovation and a strong commitment to their employees.  

• Replacement Vacuum Liquid Feeder For Poly Aluminum Chloride Ends Feed Reliability Problem For SWTP

  The Chief Operator for a surface water treatment plant (SWTP) reports that replacement of a troublesome vacuum liquid feeder for poly aluminum chloride (PACl), with a more advanced vacuum liquid feeder, ended the threat of a process upset for operations staff that was caused by the previous unit not being able to hold a constant feed rate. The ability to provide a consistent feed is needed as a key element in the plant pre-treatment process, which features turbidity reduction and clarification.

• Bioprocess Media Pooling Case Study

  How a sterile, closed system created process efficiency by removing the need for a biosafety cabinet, and enabling the manipulation of pre-sterilized assemblies in a more comfortable, ergonomic setting.

• Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography Resins For Next-Gen Challenges

  To solve downstream separation and purification challenges for many biotherapeutic modalities, a suite of hydrophobic chromatography resins has been developed to cover a wide range of hydrophobicity. 

• Save Space With Single-Use Bags, Secondary Packaging Solution

  Find out how a multinational biopharma company overcame a diminished shipping capacity challenge after switching to single-use bags to improve storage capacity at one of its production sites.

• Component Selection: The Key To Your Program Success

  The increasing global adoption of injectable medicines creates demand for pre-filled syringes and vials. CDMOs that provide aseptic fill and finish services are actively responding to this increased demand.

• Intensified Seed Train: Driving The Evolution Of Upstream Processes

  With the increased pressure to drive down manufacturing costs and to improve facility flexibility, there is a need to implement new perfusion-based approaches.

• Laser Forensics: The Invisible, Revealed And Measured

  According to the developers at Scanovis, brushes, powder and chemicals will soon be tools of the past for securing evidence at crime scenes. The company has developed a laser-based solution that, among other things, uses IR laser radiation to detect fingerprints at the scene of a crime, quickly making them visible in a 3D scan and recording them digitally. Decisive factors for this technological breakthrough are the precision of the results delivered by the laser scanner and the easy handling of the system. But how to adjust the optics of a system using a low power laser in the mid-infrared spectrum? Working together with Ophir's measurement experts, the company was able to combine different measurement methods to this end.

• SCREENMASTER® CS Bar Screen To The Rescue At A Commercial Composting Plant

  A commercial mushroom composting company in Pennsylvania needed help with a problem in their compost production process. The compost, made from hay, straw, horse manure, chicken litter, corn cobs and more, is processed on an eight-acre concrete slab, also called a wharf. The runoff from the rain and water used during the compost process washes off the wharf and into a pit and then travels through a pipe that carries it to the two-million gallon lagoon behind the wharf. From there, the company recycles the water by pumping it back to begin the process again. Unfortunately, the process wasn’t as smooth as they had hoped. Sediment and pieces of the organic material were continuously washing down into the pit and traveling to the lagoons, causing major clogs. This presented a serious issue for the company as it was slowing down their process, causing downtime, and making a mess of their lagoons. That’s when they contacted Franklin Miller for a solution.

• Canned Fish Manufacturer Relies On X-Ray Inspection Technologies For Quality Assurance

  In order to consistently eliminate foreign bodies in their products – sold worldwide, a fish manufacturer relies on x-ray inspection systems from WIPOTEC-OCS. As a result, the manufacturer ensures 100% inspection of their canned foods and safeguards their decade-long reputation and consumer confidence in their products.
