ANTIGENS Seasonal flu is a common infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by influenza virus. There are four types of influenza virus, influenza type A, B, C, and D. The A and B types are of most interest to the medical community because they are the culprits for seasonal epidemics. Occasionally, influenza A, like the A/California/04/09 (H1N1) and A/Hong Kong/1/1968 (H3N2), can even cause global pandemics.

The HyPeak™ Chromatography System provides a complete, single-use solution for chromatographic purification—a principal unit operation in downstream bioprocessing of recombinant proteins such as monocolonal antibodies and viral vector production. Pre-engineered system options and modular-flow kit designs allow for selection of tools and technology suitable for a broad range of applications. The HyPeak Chromatography System can be used for multiple chromatography steps and, combined with the automation package, provides the platform necessary for consistent, high-performing purification

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon and the basic structural element of other allotropes such as graphite and carbon nanotubes. It’s one of the lightest materials known and the strongest compound discovered. With its exceptional mechanical stiffness, strength, elasticity, high surface area and outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, Graphene is ideal for use in electronics, sensors, biomedical technologies, protective coatings, energy and composite applications.

CAD is a universal detector able to detect all non-volatile, and many semi-volatile analytes. This uniform response enables accurate quantitation of most excipients in a vaccine formulation.  

The new box is now called Box 2.0. The new design is a consistent, modern further development of the original product outfit.

Efficient and reliable scale-up is one of the major hurdles in modern biotechnology. Engineering parameters such as impeller tip speed, oxygen transfer rate, impeller power number (Np) and the impeller power consumption per volume (P/V) are just a few of the parameters that need to be considered to ensure a successful tech transfer from bench to pilot and production scale. The BioFlo® 720 bioreactor control system was designed to save time and to mitigate risks.

The Thermo Scientific HyPerforma GXCore Bioprocess Controller is an innovative, compact, cost-effective, open-architecture controller built for research and process development applications.

Increasing the efficiency of bioprocess workflows is key to stay competitive. The SciVario twin helps to develop and optimize processes in terms of time and cost efficiency. All critical process parameters can be precisely controlled directly at the controller’s touch screen. Regardless of the research segment, it is suitable for microbial and cell culture applications. The innovative bay-drawer system enables the system to flexibly adapt to unique requirements and changing processes. Eppendorf will offer updates with new functional modules, support for more, larger bioreactors, and additional software features to make the SciVario twin a future-proof solution.

Reagents?- Three fast-spreading new variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus have emerged in recent months: the U.K. variant B.1.1.7, the Brazil variant P.1, and the South Africa variant B.1.351.
