High-potency drugs present numerous opportunities for improved drug selectivity, efficacy and safety profiles, and represent a growing area of global development focus, for applications such as oncology and hormone-based treatments. Although this class of molecules offers numerous benefits to patients, they require particular care and attention in ensuring the safety for those involved in their manufacture and handling.

Six times as many decision-makers attended the 3rd European Chemistry Partnering today- compared to the initial event two years ago: with participants from Brazil, Morocco and Australia, all six continents were represented for the first time. More than 2,000 partnering meetings formed the basis of interdisciplinary exchanges regarding innovation. In addition, there were countless discussions in the exhibition area, at the speaker corners and during the many networking opportunities.

DIA Europe is more than a traditional meeting. It’s a chance to learn, engage, and grow as a healthcare professional alongside thousands of cross-functional collaborative leaders.

Complete removal of phenol traces from DNA samples. DNA samples were purified using Phenol/Chloroform extraction and measured spectrophotometrically before (1.Phenol) and after (2.EchoCLEAN) Clean-up using the EchoCLEAN Organic Solvent DNA CleanUp Kit (in duplicates). After purification with EchoCLEAN (see flowchart, left) no residual Phenol absorption can be detected.

BioEcho Life Sciences develops novel kits for the isolation and processing of DNA and RNA. The new EchoCLEAN CleanUp kits for rapid single-step purification of RNA or DNA samples with removal of any residual denaturating salts or organic solvents increase the reliability in PCR and NGS analysis.

CYPs have a number of disadvantages, including low stability or inactivity. The Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib), together with an consortium within the EU-project ROBOX, created lyophilised CYP biocatalysts that have proven to be very promising for a variety of industrial applications for the pharma, flavour and fragrance, and material science industries.

Vetter strikes out on new pathways to further develop the injection process.
CDMO launches the Vetter Open Innovation Challenge under the slogan ‘Injection 2.0′

Genomic DNA from 5 mg mouse tails each was purified using the Echolution Tissue DNA Micro Kit (BE) and a common Silica kit (Q) and used in qPCR reactions (HOX D9 Amplicon) in dilutions as indicated. The table insert shows the resulting Ct values and the difference by which the Echolution DNA template was detected earlier. (Picture © BioEcho Life Sciences GmbH)

BioEcho GmbH develops kits for the isolation and processing of DNA and RNA with a rapidly expanding portfolio. With expertise and passion, we overcome the limitations of common nucleic acid extraction with pioneering methods such as the proprietary Echolution single-step technology.
