Thermodynamic probes of cold instability: application to therapeutic proteins
Developing a stable therapeutic protein formulation requires an intimate knowledge of the protein and its physical and chemical properties. In this article, Bernardo Perez-Ramirez and Robert Simler discuss the thermodynamic consequences that low temperature can have on the aggregation tendencies of a protein.

Whitepaper: A study of the peristaltic life and pumping performance of three TPE tubing products to assess their suitability for continuous bioprocessing
Drug manufacturers are increasingly adopting continuous bioprocessing to manufacture biologics as efficiently as possible. This is being driven by a need to reduce production costs and prices of pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, the FDA has stated its support for the implementation of continuous bioprocessing. A key consequence of continuous bioprocessing is…
