Depending on the process and who provides the statistics, downstream processing accounts for between 50–80% of the cost of producing biotech drugs. Whatever the exact number, protein purification ...

Participants at a recent downstream processing meeting sponsored by Sartorius Stedim Biotech considered a host of new technologies to speed and streamline protein purification, including membrane ...

The purification of proteins and antibodies is a critical process in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Traditional methods often involve single-use materials, leading to high costs and ...

Three-phase partitioning (TPP) is an efficient and cost-effective method for protein purification that exploits the simultaneous addition of salts and organic solvents to an aqueous protein extract.

The team has further developed the method of chromatography. For this purpose, they have developed a light-sensitive molecular appendix that serves as an anchor for the target protein. It binds the ...

Penn State chemical engineers have demonstrated proof of concept for a new protein purification process that combines ultrafiltration's high throughput with high specificity achievable through ...

There are a wide variety of protein-based drugs that are used to treat various serious conditions. Insulin is perhaps the most well-known example, which is used for life-saving treatments for diabetes ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...

Self-removing tags can be used for simple and effective purification of recombinant proteins and peptides. The key component of these tags is an intein, which is a protein element with the ability to ...

Protein samples are essential to advance our understanding of disease pathways and develop new therapeutics. High-quality filtration is needed to protect purity, yield and functionality of target ...

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced the launch of two new chromatography media for process ...
