NIR spectroscopy is a strong and innovative technique

Chemical imaging is an innovative technique that uses conventional imaging and spectroscopy to obtain spatial and spectral information from a sample. Near Infrared Chemical Imaging (NIR-CI) unites the chemical selectivity of vibrational spectroscopy and the potential of image visualization. The combination of both aspects creates a more complete instrument which can be applied for the…

Cells as protein factories and the use of genomics to improve the manufacture of Biologics

With the introduction of recombinant DNA technology two decades ago, a new class of pharmaceuticals (known as biologics) began to reach patients and proliferate to treat other human diseases. Although the first human recombinant proteins (such as insulin) were analogs for the molecules previously obtained from cadavers or animals, the technology brought about many new…
