Biotech Fluidics reports that a major pharmaceutical customer has purchased 17 SPR-200 solvent recycler units to improve sustainable use of solvents by HPLC systems in their analytical laboratories. Externally powered, the standalone SPR-200 solvent recycler does not require an external computer thereby avoiding potential connectivity issues with user I.T systems. Compatible with most HPLC systems, the SPR-200 continuously monitors the output signal of liquid chromatography instrument detectors

FlowChrom from TESTA Analytical is an automated non-invasive, real-time monitoring system providing a continuous digital record of your HPLC system performance. While most HPLC and UHPLC are designed to operate 24/7, it is common for issues to arise when liquid chromatography systems are left unattended. In many instances, it is then difficult to understand what the source of the operating problem was and to determine when it occurred and how many HPLC separations were affected and must therefore be repeated...

On December 1st, 2024, a new general chapter will be available in the US Pharmacopeia (USP), which will provide biopharmaceutical developers with guidelines for mass spectrometry-based quantification of host cell protein (HCP) impurities in biologic drugs.
