Last month, this company launched the ambr 250 high-throughput (ht) perfusion (photo), a new automated parallel bioreactor system. It has been specially designed for rapid cell-culture-perfusion process development to optimize production of therapeutic antibodies. The ambr 250ht perfusion system was…
Touch displays are currently gaining ground in the laboratory environment, since they save on space and are easy to clean — keyboards are generally unsuitable for the laboratory bench. Therefore, the new version of ADVANCE software for interfacial analysis (photo)…
The new O300 miniature laser sensors with IO-Link (photo) reliably detect very small objects and gaps. With their IO-Link integration, O300 laser sensors are Industry 4.0-ready. IO-Link allows the quick and easy configuration of sensors for all applications using standard…
This company has extended its PRO portfolio to include two new low-temperature circulation thermostats designed for the specific requirements of test benches, reactors, climatic chambers and distillation plants in the CPI. With a temperature range of –90 to 200°C and…
With the industrial internet of things (IIoT), it is essential that companies have an intelligent production-management system in order to obtain production information in realtime and store all the history in a database. CapTemp is a SCADA (supervisory control and…
A clean-in-place (CIP) system is among the largest users of consumables at a hygienic processing plant. Presented here are tips for reducing the consumption of water, chemicals and time in CIP operations In many industries there is a burgeoning awareness…
Predicting powder flow behavior is important to successful solids-handling processes. Provided here is a review of shear-cell testing and how the technique can be used to predict arching, ratholing and other behaviors The phrases “failure to discharge” and “erratic flow…
Non-representative sampling in solids processes has costly consequences. A better understanding of the mathematical basis for sampling and of acceptable quality levels can help to alleviate potential sampling issues and more closely approximate reality Effective sampling in solids-handling processes is…
Corrosion is an obvious factor to consider when selecting materials of construction for process equipment. However, the chemical environment of the process is only the starting point in selecting an acceptable material. A set of other factors can complicate corrosion-resistance…
