Tighter pH Control In Chromatography And Purification Systems With Wireless Transmitters
By Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical Liquid
Biopharmaceutical Chromatography Systems are designed for separating and purifying proteins and bio-engineered products. Flow systems are compact in design to maximize throughput. No dead legs in process pipe can exist since unswept areas are more challenging to completely clean, and they delay product throughput by decreasing flow rates. The systems must maintain a hygienic design.


Why, What, And How? Understanding The Freeze Drying Process
By Biopharma Technology Limited
With freeze drying, heat-sensitive drugs and biologicals can be dried at low temperatures. The avoidance of high temperatures helps to reduce the extent of decomposition or loss of activity in biological products, and can also circumvent the alteration of taste and sensory qualities in foods. Freeze-dried products have a very high surface area, which enables them to be reconstituted quickly and easily with the re-introduction of the solvent (usually water).


Retrofitting Process Equipment Achieves Containment For A Range Of Manufacturing Operations
By ILC Dover
Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. This generic definition is somewhat basic, but it applies to enhancing process equipment and facilities. The key objective is to apply proven containment technologies to minimize the negative effects on production, while optimizing benefits to the organization.


Characterization Of Medicinal Tablet Surface Area With The Gemini Series
By Micromeritics Instrument Corporation
Gas adsorption surface area values can predict the reaction rate of compounds such as medicinal products in tablet or powder form. The dissolution rates of these products are directly related to the magnitude of their surface areas. Tablets and powders generally have low gas adsorption surface area values.


Monitor And Control On The Move: The Next Evolution In Factory Automation
By Motorola
When the mobile computer replaces the desktop PC as the information bridge between the machine real-world network and your transactional business systems, you move your operators closer to real time, closer to your machines, and closer to the product that is being manufactured, increasing control over the manufacturing process and overall profitability.
