AZENTAThe volume of samples and drug products requiring -80°C storage continues to increase, and shows no sign of slowing down. For many organisations, meeting these growing ULT storage requirements is challenging. The sheer volume of samples necessitates extensive storage capacity, which demands significant space, substantial energy use, and intensive management. Centralising and automating sample storage can provide a comprehensive solution.
VALIDOGENRecombinant protein production in Pichia typically relies on AOX1 promoter-driven expression using methanol for induction. However, some companies avoid methanol due to safety concerns or operational demands. VALIDOGEN’s unique AOX1 promoter variants enable methanol-free protein production at high space-time yields, offering advantages beyond safety. Latest case studies underscore the strength of this technology.
