Long-term agreement aligns with Aleph’s scale-up strategy, stands to make production of cultivated meat more cost-efficient. Thermo Fisher Scientific will produce some of Aleph’s formulations of growth media – the feed that contains everything cells need to live and grow. The details of the agreement were published as part of a white paper earlier this week. At-scale production costs represent a major obstacle to the widespread commercialization of cultivated animal products...
The Liquid Chromatography Flowmeter (LCF) from TESTA Analytical is a real-time monitoring device for continuously measuring the performance of pumps serving HPLC and uHPLC systems. Traditionally the quality of analytical data from HPLC systems has been determined by periodic checks of a set of measured parameters. This unfortunately just gives you a snapshot of how your HPLC system is performing at a point in time and cannot assure the total quality of an application...
Biotech Fluidics has launched a new range of traceable, certified PEEK and fluoropolymer flexible tubing for use in regulated environments. Tubing is an essential part of every fluidic system. In many medical and life science applications, biocompatibility requirements from regulatory standards including ISO 10993 (medical device and dental materials), US Pharmacopeia Class VI (toxicity), FDA title 21 and EU Regulation 1907/2006 (DEHP content) strictly govern what flexible plastic tubing can be used...
