Fluoropolymers: A Critical Enabler in Cell and Gene Therapies Cell and gene therapies are revolutionizing medicine, offering cures for rare diseases and innovative treatments for cancer. Behind every successful therapy is a precise and sterile manufacturing process—where the choice of materials can make the difference between success and ...
In the fast-evolving field of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), linker chemistry plays a decisive role in defining therapeutic performance. The ability to control the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), conjugation site, and overall molecular stability directly impacts both efficacy and safety. Among emerging linker materials, azide-functionalized PEG derivatives have become essential tools for ...
Understanding Plant Cell Viability Plant cells, like all living cells, undergo a complex cycle of growth, differentiation, and death. In plant biotechnology, tissue culture, and stress physiology studies, knowing whether cells are alive or dead is essential for interpreting experimental results. Plant cell viability refers to the proportion of living, metabolically active cells in a given ...
For a vaccine manufacturer contracted to fast-track production of COVID-19 vaccines, we designed and constructed a 700-square-foot Ultra-Low Temp storage ...
Precise and safe delivery of drugs to target sites has always been an important task for researchers in modern medicine. With the development of nanotechnology, a variety of nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) have been designed and prepared, such as the most familiar liposomes, polymer nanoparticles, and metal nanoparticles. However, a new kind of drug delivery system has also gradually emerged in ...
We built a more than 700,000-cubic-foot vaccine storage solution for a global manufacturer, during COVID-19 lockdown, on time and on budget. ...
As the end of the year approaches, many clinicians look for smart ways to invest in their practice while reducing taxable income. One powerful opportunity often overlooked is the Section 179 tax deduction — a U.S. tax incentive that allows businesses, including dental and medical practices, to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service. If ...
In today’s highly regulated industrial landscape, ensuring SIL2 compliance in additive manufacturing and pharmaceutical production is critical. These sectors rely on accurate, safe, and compliant equipment to maintain operations and protect both employees and end-users. One standard that has emerged as a benchmark in safety-critical processes is SIL2 compliance. This article explores what ...
Quality issues in medical devices often point to underlying weaknesses in the system, and ISO 13485-compliant CAPA is essential for correctly identifying cause and preventing the problem from recurring. Here’s an overview of CAPA requirements in ISO 13485 for medical device ...
Choosing the wrong supplier for medical drainage bags can expose your facility to safety risks, compliance violations, and costly downtime. Procurement professionals are expected to evaluate products quickly and confidently, but not all warning signs are obvious upfront. This guide breaks down five key red flags to watch for so you can make smarter, safer purchasing decisions and ...
At first glance, a cheaper drainage bag may seem like a smart move for a tight budget. But procurement teams know the real cost of a product goes far beyond the price on the invoice. When medical drainage bags fail to perform, the ripple effects show up in the form of surgical delays, patient dissatisfaction, and even infection risk. Discover the hidden costs of low-quality drainage ...
Chemokines and their receptors form one of the most intricate signaling networks in immunology. Among them, CCR1 (C-C chemokine receptor type 1) has attracted attention for its dual role as both a guardian of host defense and a potential driver of chronic inflammation and cancer progression. For researchers, CCR1 is more than a seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR)—it ...
Abstract Cannabis is used by an estimated 192 million people around the world. Most people use cannabis through the inhalation of cannabis smoke, which contains combustion by-products that can negatively affect lung health. Knowledge of these risks has led to a growing interest in cannabis vaporizers, which heat the dry cannabis flower without burning. Vaporizing cannabis still releases ...
In modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing, downstream processing development has become one of the most critical and resource-intensive stages. While upstream cell culture or fermentation focuses on producing the target biomolecule, downstream steps transform crude harvests into highly purified and stable therapeutic products. For biologics such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and ...
Welcome to the world of advanced manufacturing techniques for tungsten tubes! If you're involved in the industrial or manufacturing industry, you've probably heard of this incredibly durable and versatile metal. Tungsten has been used for decades in a variety of applications such as aerospace, automotive, and medical equipment due to its high melting point, strength, and corrosion resistance. ...
Wholesale marker bands are essential components in the medical device industry, significantly enhancing surgical precision, especially in minimally invasive procedures. These small yet vital parts improve the visibility of medical instruments under imaging, enabling surgeons to work with exceptional accuracy. Made from advanced materials like tantalum and platinum-iridium alloys, wholesale marker ...
Medical Center Improves Reliability with Natural Gas-Fired Cogeneration Plant. Faced with the need to replace 50-year-old natural gas steam boilers with costly new ones, a major university medical center instead invested in a cogeneration facility that generates nearly all its electricity and creates low-cost steam as a ...
Albany Medical Center in downtown Albany, NY encompasses the 651-bed Albany Medical Center Hospital, as well as the 550-student Albany Medical College. It is a Level-I Trauma center, and the only academic health sciences center in Northeastern New York State.
