• The Effect Of Rocking Rate And Angle On T Cell Cultures Grown In Expansion Systems

  Ensuring optimal and maximal T cell production is critical for adoptive immunotherapy and its continued success. The Xuri Cell Expansion System is an important component of the clinical manufacturing process so we sought to investigate the effect of the rocking rate and angle on the expansion of T cells.

• Simpler Maintenance For Free-Chlorine Measurement

  Safe drinking water is often taken for granted, but the reality is that it requires an extensive network of equipment and qualified personnel to keep it flowing. One major issue is that traditional chlorine sensor technology can be laborious and expensive to maintain. However, an alternative is available for water treatment plant operators who already have plenty of responsibilities and want to keep their disinfection duties and costs to a minimum.

• How Buffer pH And NaCl Affect Size Exclusion Chromatography

  Using a design of experiments approach, this study describes the effect of buffer pH and NaCl concentration on proteins purified by size exclusion chromatography.

• Measuring Cell Density In The HyPerforma S.U.B.s With Aber Futura Neo Single-Use Sensors

  This application note summarizes the sensor’s function, integration into the S.U.B. BPC, and showcases functional cell culture data obtained both internally and with a primary customer.

• A New International Standard To Measure DNA?

  The breadth of digital PCR (dPCR) applications continues to grow and fulfill critical scientific needs. One of the major advantages the technology confers is the ability to count nucleic acid molecules directly, rather than extrapolating quantity based on standard curves as with many other methods. By harmonizing diagnostic procedures on dPCR platforms, the scientific and medical communities can become more coordinated and efficient than ever before.

• How Community Growth And Other Changes Are Driving The Need For Expert Ongoing Field Support

  The process of launching a municipal drinking water treatment operation can take years. In the end, a community is left with a complex system, an operations and maintenance manual, and a well-trained staff. Many communities are extremely well versed in the functions and operation of their treatment for the specific parameters for which it was built. However, as time goes on, plant managers and operators increasingly have a need for outside assistance.

• Preparing For Lead-Service-Line Inventory And Replacement Requirements

  With all the new facets of proposed Lead and Copper Rule revisions (LCRR) announced by the U.S. EPA in October of 2019, any water utility that has not yet started making preparations is at risk of being non-compliant by the time the new rules are put into effect. Use the accompanying links to improve understanding of those requirements and the process of conducting lead-service-line (LSL) inventories and replacements.

• Customer Success And The Added Value Of Payments

  Payment processing offers value beyond recurring revenue, it also can help ISVs build stickier relationships with their customers. Dan Viscount — SVP and Co-General Manager, IPOS Division at EVO — recently spoke with The Business Solutions Network this and more.

• How AI Helps Clean Water And Sanitation

  A recent UN report on global clean water and sanitation suggests that over 40% of the world population still doesn’t have access to safely managed drinking water. The report also reveals that more than half of the world population (4.5 billion) doesn’t have access to a safe sanitation system. It also indicates that almost 2 billion people are using water sources contaminated with sewage.

• Developing A Continuous Large-Scale Perfusion Cell Culture Process

  The key benefits of perfusion processes are compact process design, flexibility, increased productivity, increased yield, and consistent product quality. 

• Protein Thermal Shift Assays Made Easy

  Protein thermal shift assays enable quick and easy buffer optimization for increased protein stability. Learn more about the CFX Real-Time PCR Detection Systems which uses a simple protocol to measure protein thermal stability using SYPRO Orange Fluorescent Dye.

• Beyond The Quote: Total Cost Of Ownership With Supply Chain Partnerships

  Critical components cannot be sourced like simple parts; they demand greater vendor/customer collaboration, profound depth of knowledge, and a supplier committed more to the relationship than the sale.

• Avoiding Crisis: Meeting LCR Revision Communication Requirements

  Complying with communication requirements is as much a part of the proposed Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) as the actual water testing and identification of lead service line (LSL) inventories. Given the magnitude of the proposed changes, it is critical for water distribution utilities to start preparing for its implementation well in advance. Here are some key factors to consider.

• Optimization, Validation And Implementation Of Retroviral Retentive Filters For Production of Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)

  Viral contamination is a risk for all biotechnology products. Establishing robust viral removal/inactivation steps mitigates the risk of adventitious and endogenous viral contamination and is essential for ensuring the safety of gene therapy products. Recent studies have shown that viral retentive filtration is one of the most robust steps in removing all types of viruses. In this study, we focused on the initial development process of the retroviral-retentive Viresolve® NFR filter.

• Building An Enterprise GIS To Support Efficiency Across The Organization

  Padre Dam Municipal Water District provides water, wastewater, recycled water, and park and recreation services to over 102,000 residents in East San Diego County in California. Padre Dam's infrastructure is worth over $700 million, and it has an annual budget of $76.3 million. Padre Dam imports 100 percent of its drinking water supply and treats two million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater at the Ray Stoyer Water Recycling Facility.

• Validation Study In Adults With Lifestyle-Related Chronic Disease

  The Philips Health Band (PHB) is a wrist-worn activity and heart rate monitoring device. This study assessed the measurement performance of the PHB in adults at risk for lifestyle-related chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2 as well as adults with existing lifestyle-related chronic disease.

• The Role Of Ozone In Cost-Effective Reuse Treatment

  Both direct and indirect potable reuse have massive potential to address growing water scarcity issues. However, the total cost of ownership can present a significant challenge to getting reuse projects off the ground. The good news is that another solution now provides a comparable option for reuse that is often superior to common reuse treatment trains currently in operation.

• What’s Missing From Your Water-Monitoring Strategy?

  When it comes to water quality monitoring, professionals in municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications might have distinctly different concerns about what they measure, but they all share a common concern about the cost and ease of obtaining that data. Fortunately, a new alternative for achieving water quality data and analytics with a high degree of autonomy, accuracy, and affordability is now available to all of them.
