Characterization of Protein Aggregates and Other Particles in Biopharmaceuticals - Application Note
July 8th 2022In this application note we show how flow imaging microscopy and FlowCam can help analyze particles in biotherapeutic samples. To demonstrate this ability, a simulated protein formulation consisting of silicone oil microdroplets spiked in a protein formulation was prepared and run on a FlowCam 8100 FIM instrument and analyzed with VisualSpreadsheet software.
Measuring Subvisible Particles and Aggregates Using FlowCam LO - White Paper
July 8th 2022In this white paper, we utilize FlowCam LO to obtain simultaneous Flow imaging Microscopy (FIM) and LO measurements of a single sample. The results demonstrate that LO can undersize or even completely fail to detect highly transparent particles such as ETFE and some protein aggregates that FIM easily detects. These results highlight the importance of pairing LO measurements with an orthogonal technique like FIM.
A complete “how-to” guide for saliva collection and testing
June 24th 2022To gain a better appreciation for saliva and its growing use within the diagnostics research market, we’ll take a closer look at some foundational questions about saliva’s composition, physiological function, and its underappreciated history in the medical field.
Biologics: end-to-end formulation
June 15th 2022The clinical value of biologics for the treatment of many disease indications has been accompanied by phenomenal sales. By 2026, the global market for biologics is projected to increase to $537 billion. However, getting a promising drug candidate can be daunting. This white paper details how to optimize formulation development and tech transfer to ensure successful biologics production.
Post-curing on the reduction of cyclosiloxanes v3
May 19th 2022Watson Marlow Fluid Technologies Solutions (WMFTS), fluid path solutions provider of peristaltic pumps and single-use component, outlines the results of a study which makes comparisons between the semi volatiles extractables profile of post-cured and non post-cured samples of its Pumpsil platinum-cured silicone tubing.
