Pall Life Sciences, a division of Pall Corporation, is preparing to showcase key components of the biopharmaceutical portfolio at the upcoming BPI 2015 event. Pall will be located in booth 309 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, October 26-29, with experts on hand to discuss advances that continuously improve bioprocesses for customers.

A host of updated and new portfolio products will be on display at the booth. Particular focus is being placed on the unmatched continuous solutions Pall has available for downstream processing support, including:

  • The disruptive Acoustic Wave Separation technology for cell-culture clarification in either fed-batch or perfusion applications
  • A preview of Pall’s latest advance in depth filtration: Stax™ Depth Filters with Hyperion Flow technology, for direct mammalian cell harvest with a new filter to remove cells and cellular debris effectively and efficiently
  • The award-winning Cadence™ Inline Concentrator single-pass tangential flow filtration system for direct flow-through and in-process volume reduction in an integrated or stand-alone format
  • The recently introduced BioSMB® System for single-use or multicolumn continuous chromatography featuring a disposable flow path with a proprietary integrated valve cassette to service up to 16 columns or devices

Pall will also highlight key analytical and single-use products at the event, including the new Octet® K2 System for small-scale protein characterization in research and discovery phase; the PadReactor® Mini bioreactor, with maximum 13L working volume; and the Palltronic® Flowstar LGR test instrument for point-of-use leak testing of single-use configurations up to 200L in 15 minutes. Additionally, the new gamma-irradiated packaging for SoloHill® Microcarriers; recently introduced animal-protein-free, rigid, spherical SoloHill Star-Plus Microcarriers with a net positive charge; and the Allegro™ Microcarrier Delivery System for process simplification will be available for inquiries.

On the final day, Thursday, October 29 at 12:05 p.m. in Room 210, Pall will round out the event with a look into the future of continuous bioprocessing. Join Pall Life Sciences division President of Biopharmaceuticals Michael Egholm, Ph.D., for a presentation on “Significant Technology Advances Enabling Integrated Continuous Bioprocessing” with a curated tour following.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.Protein QuantificationThe detection and quantification of proteins in a sample is vital across life sciences, pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnostics, and a variety of equipment is available to scientists to simplify the workflow. Proteins of interest can be easily labeled and detected on light-based detection instruments. Immunoassay kits allow you to identify a specific protein of interest and protein detection beads or antibody microarrays allow you to identify multiple specific proteins at once. Protein interactions and enzyme activity can also be monitored with protein-protein interaction assays. Additionally, the biophysical characterization of proteins is made easy with biokinetic analyzers. Find the best protein detection and quantification products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BioprocessingBioprocessing is the use of biological systems for the conversion of raw materials to desired products. This includes the research, development and manufacturing stages of production and can refer to food processing, small-molecule pharmaceutical manufacture, production of recombinant protein therapeutics, or the generation of renewable energy.BiopharmaceuticalsBiopharmaceuticals are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or for in vivo diagnostics. The most well known example of a biopharmaceutical product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.Cell CultureCell culture involves growing cells under controlled conditions, typically outside of their natural environment, to study cellular behavior, drug response, and disease models. Cell culture is crucial in biotechnology and biomedical research. Explore cell culture products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
