Cell culture / Production control has been updated
Whereas small-molecule drugs are mostly manufactured by chemical synthesis, biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using living cells. To increase the production quantity and consistency of proteins used as raw materials for biopharmaceuticals, it is important to understand the metabolism of host cells. Because fluctuations in organic and inorganic components in culture solutions can affect the quantity and quality of antibodies produced, it is important to analyze the quantities of glucose, glutamine, nucleic acids, vitamins, or other organic and inorganic components in culture solutions.

Lipid and Fatty Acid Analysis Solutions of e-book is now available
Lipids are one of the four major biological substances, along with proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Fatty acids are also important in living organisms and make up cell membranes (examples: phospholipids, sphingolipids, cholesterol esters). Both play essential roles in the physiology of living organisms, serving as structural components of biological membranes, mediators of energy storage, and signaling molecules within and between cells.

New Video: ICPMS-2040/2050 Extended Rinsing
The extended rinsing function automatically performs an additional rinse sequence when a target element exceeds a predetermined upper limit. A second rinse solution can be used in the additional rinsing sequence to improve rinsing effectiveness. Consequently, carryover is eliminated to ensure high-quality data.
-
New Video: ICPMS-2040/2050 ProActive Rinsing
ProActive Rinsing can shorten the analysis time by sharting the rinsing sequence in advance. While measuring multiple samples, the rinsing sequence can be started early by sending the autosampler probe to rinse while collecting data using sample already in the suction line. This greatly reduces measurement time and conserves sample.

On-line extraction and determination of targeted carotenoids from habanero red (Capsicum Chinese)
The on-line coupling between supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), generate a powerful tool for the automatic extraction and detection of target compounds from food matrices. The on-line nature of the system, compared to off-line
approaches, improves run-to-run precision, enables the setting of batch-type applications, and reduces the risks of sample contamination. Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) presents unique characteristics, which make it an excellent solvent, it shows a relatively high density and
consequently, a high solvation power. -
