A number of analytes are able to interact with conventional inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The inert YMC-Triart metal-free (U)HPLC columns are fully biocompatible due to their PEEK lined stainless steel column bodies and the use of PEEK frits. You can achieve excellent peak shapes and reliable recoveries for critical substances such as biomolecules. The prevention of carryover makes them an ideal choice for highly sensitive LC/MS analyses....

Filter manufacturer Amazon Filters has launched a new range of filter housings to aid critical processes in the production of biopharmaceuticals. The single-stack 72C and 76C series housings conform to the latest iteration of the industry-leading ASME BPE standard and its criteria for hygienic design, materials construction and fabrication. Ideal for the filtration of both liquids and gases, the range is designed to support all kinds of biopharmaceutical manufacture as well as traditional pharma API...
The Universal Cutting Mills PULVERISETTE 19 from FRITSCH are ideal for comminution of dry, soft to hard, tough to brittle, fibrous as well as temperature-sensitive materials. Due to the variable speed adjustment between 300-3000 rpm, a fast and effective fine comminution is possible. With the slow-speed Universal Cutting Mill with 50-700 rpm, on the other hand, extremely powerful comminution is achieved even for smaller sample quantities.
Developed by Asynt, in conjunction with the University of Leeds (UK), the fReactor Photo Flow provides an easy-to-use, yet powerful platform for scientists looking to explore photochemistry in Flow Chemistry applications. It is widely acknowledged that photocatalysis is a valuable synthetic tool for providing access to reaction pathways which would normally prove problematic or require multi-step synthetic routes using classical thermal or chemical activation methods....
As a global leading supplier of of raw materials, antibodies, and reagents for bio-technology industry, Creative Diagnostics recently launched a variety of lentiviral SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus from a wide range of coronavirus species.
