Cell Guidance Systems – Free Webinar: PODS - Advanced Technology for In vivo Research
Tuesday, March 7th, 2023 at 10:00 EST
Duration: 1 Hour
Proteins are potent molecules with many applications in basic research and therapeutics. However, protein instability presents challenges, particularly for in-vivo studies. PODS from Cell Guidance Systems addresses this problem by capturing fully folded proteins within microscopic protein crystals to provide a robust sustained release depot formulation. PODS crystals have been used in applications ranging from implanted cell survival to cancer immunotherapy. This talk will provide an understanding of PODS technology and ways in which it can be used to generate robust data in in-vivo applications.

TECHNICAL REPORT
Associates of Cape Cod, Inc. – PyroSmart NextGen® for Bacterial Endotoxins Test
Advanced Recombinant Cascade Reagent PyroSmart NextGen®
for Bacterial Endotoxins Test as Described in the Pharmacopeias
Overview:
Previous reports indicate that recombinant reagents have two issues: extremely low endotoxin potency determination for Helicobacter pylori GU2 and high levels of interference from Heparin Calcium impacting endotoxin recovery. A new recombinant cascade reagent (rCR), PyroSmart NextGen®, recently introduced to the market has been developed to solve these issues.
PyroSmart NextGen® has demonstrated higher reactivity to H. pylori GU2 and a lower level of interference from Heparin Calcium than other existing recombinant reagents. Additionally, the analytical capability and suitability of PyroSmart NextGen® has been demonstrated when applied to the BET as described in the US, European and Japanese pharmacopeias. PyroSmart NextGen® has also shown comparability to amoebocyte lysate reagents by demonstrating its ability to detect autochthonous endotoxin in water and in Escherichia coli culture.

From all of us at MJSBioLynx...
We wish you a very Happy St. Patty's Day!
