• Characterizing Biotherapeutics with HPLC
  

  As demonstrated here, there are a broad range of HPLC applications used in development, production, validation and release of protein therapeutics for human use. Some of the applications mentioned above are mandatory when submitting a new biopharmaceutical to approval at the regulatory agencies. The introduction of the first so-called biosimilars in Europe further increased the demand for highly efficient analysis methods. The continuous development of new stationary phases for the common modes of biochromatography, such as size exclusion, ion exchange and hydrophilic interaction chromatography support biochemists in increasing lab productivity and establishing high-throughput HPLC analysis not only for small molecules but also for large biopolymers more

• Increased productivity for downstream processing of biotherapeutics
  

  Polymer-based chromatographic resins featuring high mechanical and chemical stability and high protein binding capacities can help to increase the throughput and robustness of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Advances in genetic engineering and cell culture technology have raised upstream productivity in the production of recombinant proteins. Increased titres of up to 10 g/l stress the need for highly efficient and robust downstream processes (DSP). Most industrial bioprocess development groups apply generic DSP platforms that are designed to purify various candidates of the same class of proteins applying the same process design. Besides various filtration and virus inactivation steps, they usually involve two or three chromatographic unit operations with orthogonal separation modes. The use of high capacity chromatographic resins can help to overcome the DSP bottleneck by increasing process throughput and robustness more

• Structural and Chemical 3D Imaging with AFM and Raman.
  

  In the Life Sciences and Bio-medical Research, the characterization of chemical compounds within cells or tissues is one of the most important and difficult tasks for researchers to perform. The development of pharmaceuticals such as drug delivery coatings or capsules also requires as much information as possible about their chemical and structural compositions. For the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, a thorough knowledge of the samples' surface morphology on a sub-micron scale is essential more
