Cellular contortionists: A microchip for isolating fetal blood cells

In the circus, contortionists are one of the audience’s favorite acts. In the laboratory, scientists may soon be able to take advantage of the contortionist abilities of fetal blood cells for non-invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures. [More]

Fat is where the stem cells are: Isolating multipotent stem cells from adipose tissue

As every chef knows, fat is where the flavour is. As it turns out, fat is not just good at retaining flavour, but also at harbouring stem cells. Several studies have recently shown that stem cells can be isolated from adipose tissue in both animals and humans. [More]

Two is better than one: Two-colour FACS of antibody-expressing cell lines

Over the past decade, recombinant human antibodies have become established as an important class of therapeutic proteins. Engineered mammalian cell lines that express high levels of these antibodies are therefore of considerable value, yet require up to a year in development time. [More]










 
 

PRODUCT NEWS

Biomanufacturing - how to boost your productivity ...

For companies operating cell biomanufacturing processes - INTEGRA Biosciences has produced a technical field report that demonstrates how its CELLine bioreactor enabled a contract manufacturer to reduce the cost and time for production of one gram of monoclonal antibody while increasing product quality. 

Accessible from www.celline.info the report describes shortfalls encountered in manufacturing a batch of monoclonal antibody with roller bottles and compares this with the advantages of using the CELLine bioreactor.

Optimised tools for quality conscious Cell cell Culture culture laboratories

INTEGRA Biosciences  has introduced a range of new enhancements to its popular CELLSPIN and CELLROLL systems that assist quality assurance and enhance operational flexibility.

The CELLSPIN is a compact system with remote control for spinning cell culture volumes from 100 to 1000 ml at 5-75 rpm. Two CELLSPIN systems fit comfortably inside a standard size incubator. The CELLROLL is a compact roller system for the cultivation of adherent and suspension cells. It can be used for cell studies, cultivating cells or for producing cellular products such as antibodies and recombinant proteins on a research or laboratory scale.
