Bioengineers to standardise biomanufacturing

Biomanufacturing – either for production of biologics or bio-based everyday products – has traditionally suffered from the unpredictably variable response of production cell lines to external stimuli. Synthetic biology groups now wish to create a network of biofoundries that aim to establish reproducibility standards from process design to product purification and – in the long term – intend to switch from cell-based to cell-free bioproduction.

Inhibitor-free DNA Reliability for any Throughput

BioEcho develops single-spin and 96-well kits for the isolation of DNA. Their proprietary EchoLUTION single-step technology avoids the use of inhibitory process reagents resulting in increased sensitivity and reliability of downstream analyses. Therefore, the risk of inhibition or complete failure of PCR applications is eliminated. The process does not require washing steps and is significantly faster than commonly used bind-wash-elute methods.

Theranexus colloborates with AI expert Dyliss

Lyon-based neurology specialist Theranexus SA has launched a new bioinformatics partnership with systems biology data analysts from Dyliss (Dynamics, Logics and Inference for biological Systems and Sequences).
