In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

Researchers at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, are developing an alternative to nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) to purify recombinant proteins. Because it uses common ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

Crossflow (or tangential flow) filtration, in which the feed liquid passes both parallel and perpendicular to the membrane, allowing both retentate and permeate to be collected. Typical applications ...

Plasmodium vivax is the most common parasite that causes malaria in Asia and South America. It preferentially infects an immature red blood cell that accounts for only 1–2% of circulating blood. The ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...

As the global population grows, fresh water supplies are more precious than ever. While scientists and engineers know how to purify water, making those methods sustainable and energy efficient is ...

The limited freshwater sources and the ease of water pollution necessitate efficient treatment systems. Membranes are commonly employed as filters and quality control materials in water treatment ...
