9 steps to validate your life science storage

Good manufacturing practice regulators in Australia have sharpened their focus on life science warehouse storage and distribution practices. Regulatory thinking has shifted from quality-by-test to quality-by-design systems with emphasis on the level of risk to product quality and patient safety.

Monitoring with mean kinetic temperature in GxP environments

Regulatory bodies in drug manufacturing and distribution have long been working together to create standards for temperature monitoring that will ensure the quality of drugs, devices and biotechnology. The mean kinetic temperature (MKT) value has been identified as a potential tool for evaluating the impact of temperature on product quality.

The solution for a seamless quantitative bioanalysis

High selectivity is a critical element of successful quantitative bioanalysis. Recent technology advances have increased selectivity well beyond its previous gold standard — providing bioanalytical scientists with new dimensions and tools with which to work.

Continuous environmental monitoring — compliance and best practice tips

Automated environmental monitoring systems are now a critical element in many laboratory operations. To reduce your risk of adulterated product and missing data, ongoing system maintenance is essential. This is easily achieved by integrating the software-based system into your own organisation's quality system.

Protective solutions for glove allergies

Wearing glove products can cause adverse skin reactions, ranging from irritant contact dermatitis to severe allergic responses such as anaphylaxis.

The ultimate guide to hand protection in life sciences

Hand protection is rarely a one size fits all, especially in the life sciences. Whether hands need to be protected from hazards or products require a complete barrier, hand protection requires careful selection.

Advantages of Wavelength Scanning in Fluorescence and Absorbance Assays

EnVision® Multilabel Plate Reader, widely used in biological assay studies across the field and available in a number of configurations, incorporates monochromator technology in its two options. Absorbance Monochromator option is capable of performing absorbance assays while Fluorescence Intensity Monochromator option can be used for both absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays (quad monochromator design).

Gene expression and miRNA data analysis

Automated analytical pipelines that are modular and flexible, combined with the use of standardised file formats, can facilitate miRNA and whole transcriptome data analyses. This white paper discusses methods and bioinformatics tools that can be logically connected to create such automated pipelines from raw sequences to statistical reporting and mapped counts assigned to each gene or miRNA.
