In vivo monitoring of stem cell behaviour
Millipore has announced the availability of its MilliTrace primary rodent neural stem cell (NSC) lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) constitutively
It combines Millipore's substantial engineering knowledge and biopharmaceutical expertise with products from the Company's recent acquisitions of NovAseptic and Newport Bio Systems.
"Over the past two years, we have significantly expanded our portfolio of disposable products and the Mobius Mix200 disposable mixing system is a great example of how we have advanced our capabilities to bring new innovations and increased value to our customers," said Jean-Paul Mangeolle, president of Millipore's bioprocess division.
"Our ability to provide integrated disposable solutions makes us a critical partner as biopharmaceutical companies seek to implement their disposable manufacturing strategies.
"With our expanded footprint, we can help our customers reduce their risk, increase their speed, and gain an edge in the marketplace".
Biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly seeking to replace stainless steel hardware with disposable plastic products.
These disposable products eliminate the need for cleaning validation and shorten cycle times between processing runs.
Millipore's Mobius suite of disposable technologies includes filtration products, process containers, mixers, connectors, and valves.
In addition to these products, Millipore offers design, validation, and support services required to integrate and deliver a complete disposable solution.
Unlike some disposable mixers that can take as long as 45 minutes to warm up, the Mobius Mix200 disposable mixing system requires no warm up time and significantly increases the speed that biopharmaceutical customers mix their products and prepare cell culture media.
It provides mixing efficiency in a contained system, saving valuable process and validation time.
The Mobius Mix200 includes a 200 litre carrier, a single-use magnetically driven impeller inside a disposable Mobius process container made of PureFlex film, and an electronic drive unit.
The Mix200 mixer is the first in a series of mixers Millipore will be introducing.
It will be followed by 100L and 500L versions. Request a free brochure from Millipore ...
