Acquiring precision genetic alignment between strain design and biological reality can be a challenge for microbial strain engineers. NCIMB’s technology commercialisation manager Dr Reuben Carr considers what is at stake, and the steps that can be taken to tackle this important issue.

BPES was founded in 1996 by Colin Burdick, a chartered engineer. Having spent many years leading various engineering companies, he ventured into the biotech sector in the late ‘80s.

The biotech industry stands at the forefront of innovation and one of the most powerful enablers of this progress is process analytics: a suite of technologies and methodologies that collect, analyse and interpret data from bioprocesses to optimise every stage of development and production.

Firefinch Software offer key support to biotech companies and those developing medical devices by providing specialised software development services. Setting Firefinch apart is their life science domain expertise – including 6 staff with scientific PhDs (not standard in software development!). By focusing on expert-led development, iterative delivery, and a deep understanding of scientific workflows, Firefinch help biotech firms navigate complex development cycles, reduce costly errors, and ultimately, bring their products to market more efficiently.

If you've ever worked with FPLC systems in the laboratory or engaged in any other forms of protein purification, you've likely come across the need to introduce cooling when working with labile proteins. This article explores the issues with finding a suitable cooling option for FPLC systems, and offers the modified Foster Chromatography Cabinet supplied by GPE Scientific as the ideal laboratory solution.
