Downstream WHITE PAPER: Identifying Options For Stem-Cell-Based Therapy Scale-Up By Matthieu Egloff, Product Manager, and Jose Castillo, Global Cell Culture Director, ATMI LifeSciences Cell-based therapies are gearing up to have extensive impact on the healthcare field in coming years. With a promise for treating various diseases, as well as long-term conditions like heart disease and metabolic disorders, stem cell therapies are gaining valid appreciation as a viable alternative to traditional methods. In fact, the overall U.S. market for stem cell products is predicted to reach as much as $6 billion by 2020, according to research from Robin Young Consulting. Quality/Regulatory WHITE PAPER: Flexible Measuring And Control In Reverse Osmosis Systems By Christof Kundel, Segment Manager Water Treatment, Brkert Fluid Control Systems Reverse osmosis systems play a central part in water treatment. In industrial applications, for example, reverse osmosis is used for purifying process water, producing drinking water and desalinizing seawater, or for producing ultra pure or pharmaceutical water. In addition to these processes, which aim at reducing the concentration of the substances dissolved in the water, the beverage industry also uses reverse osmosis systems for increasing concentrations, e.g. in the manufacture of fruit juice concentrates or for concentrating the must in wine production. Supply Chain Integrity GUEST COLUMN: 5 Tips For Successful Cold Chain Logistics By Dan Catizone, VP, QuickSTAT Cold chain shipments often have to be transported to obscure parts of the world under strictly controlled temperature conditions. Making sure that clinical specimens, vaccines, drugs, or other biologicals reach their destination safely, securely, and at the right temperature is a critical element of the drug discovery process. As a shipper, you need to ensure that your "cold chain" runs efficiently and with the least amount of adverse incidents.
