PEER-REVIEWED
Increased Throughput and Reduced Operator Cost with Automated Concentration and Diafiltration of Multiple siRNA Samples
Rebecca Arvary, Deborah R. Cohen, Steven Vaughan, Catherine Blake
The use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotides for post-transcriptional gene silencing has proven to be an effective and powerful tool in the discovery of gene function. A team of scientists from GE Healthcare (GEHC) collaborated with Merck scientists with the project objective to transfer a conventional manual concentration/diafiltration process for siRNA production using five filtration systems to an optimized, automated process using two ÄKTAcrossflow filtration platforms. |

Assessing Development Needs for Biobetters and Biosimilars
Christina Satterwhite, Director, Laboratory Sciences, Preclinical Services, Charles River Laboratories
During the past 30 years, biotherapeutics have emerged as targeted drugs for indications, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, and hormone/enzyme disorders. Due to their specificity and generally reduced toxicity profiles, biotherapeutics have gained market share from classic small-molecule therapeutics. With many approved biotherapeutics coming off patent in the next several years, a new market for biologic products such as biosimilars and biobetters/biosuperiors is gaining ground. |
