The Importance of In Vitro Studies In vitro studies offer a controlled environment to assess drug permeability without the ethical and complexity concerns associated with in vivo studies. ...
Background contaminants can hinder the performance of mRNA in therapeutic applications, necessitating carefully controlled production environments. However, enzymes can help overcome these hurdles. ...
The role of the cold chain in vaccine efficacy This complex system of temperature-controlled storage and transportation equipment that makes up the vaccine cold chain is critical in maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive vaccines, such as the rVSV-ZEBOV developed for Ebola. ...
Once printed, the cells in the bio-ink are carefully nurtured in a controlled environment to allow them to grow and mature into functional tissue. ...

Reliable and efficient storage and transport solutions play a pivotal role in the distribution of vaccines and medical supplies across diverse and often challenging environments. Especially in the face of global health challenges, the ability to depend on medical equipment for carrying out critical tasks becomes not just a necessity but a lifeline for potentially entire ...
By culturing these cells under controlled laboratory conditions, researchers can simulate disease conditions and examine cellular responses in a controlled environment. ...
Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) ALE is a method of yeast strain improvement that involves growing yeast in a controlled environment with selective pressures to induce mutations that lead to desirable traits. ...
Over the past two decades, there has been a substantial increase in the usage of latex products, accompanied by a growing incidence of latex allergies, particularly in healthcare settings. Allergic reactions to latex can range from mild to severe, and even be fatal in some cases. Latex allergy symptoms include skin irritation, runny nose, rash, and difficulty breathing. This issue is especially ...
Currently, two data-related trends are delivering new levels of optimization in hospitals with the potential to vastly improve operations and safety: The convergence of information technology (IT) systems with operational technology (OT), which combines operational processes, insights, and controls into a unified environment. Internet of Things (IoT) ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly changed the social landscape. Adapting has been a challenge for everyone. However, some disabled people are seeing an upside: better accessibility. While the pandemic reshapes the world in unexpected ways, we owe it to ourselves to find out which of these changes are for the ...
While the extracts may have stopped B. burgdorferi from multiplying, the study was performed in vitro. This kind of controlled environment makes it difficult to determine how these extracts would interact with the target bacteria in a patient. ...
But, as we look to understand the impact a drug has on patients’ everyday health outside of a research environment, what happens to these unique, predictive findings around dosing and outcomes once a drug enters the real-world? ...

The result is a decrease in the proliferation and cross contamination of pathogens of interest on touch surfaces, walls and other areas of healthcare and other controlled environments. How Pathogens Spread in Hospitals In medical facilities, pathogens can spread through direct and indirect contact. ...
Bioreactors also allow for increased in-process testing and control of the culture environment to ensure we produce a consistent MSC secretome for every Sygenus batch and to maintain the strong anti-inflammatory activity of the secretome. ...
It is not just the huge numbers (literally, in the billions of doses) and vast geographic scope (worldwide, requiring delivery to every country on the planet) that make the COVID-19 vaccine distribution task so daunting, but both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines must be stored and transported in strict climate-controlled environments (reportedly, at some -70 ...
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (the "CDC"), a vaccine for a specific disease stimulates an individual's immune system, causing it to produce antibodies to counteract the antigens associated with the disease in question, just as one's immune system would do if one were actually exposed to the disease. ...
After offloading, the time spent dockside or at the airport apron should be minimized with the pharmaceuticals being transferred to a proper temperature-controlled storage environment as quickly as possible. This temporary storage provides proper environmental conditions while awaiting official entry and customs clearance. ...

In previous blog posts, we have explored the fact that many drugs, vaccines and pharmaceutical products require refrigerated conditions in order to maintain efficacy. We also examined the importance of minimizing temperature excursions during transportation. Establishing a drug stability budget can minimize discards and ensure a quality product is delivered to the end-user. We know that ...

It’s not often you lovingly hug a 450-pound piece of equipment, but if it makes your work life easier you show your appreciation. The CDS-5 helps lab technologists create consistent and reliable environments for their work regardless of the day-to-day variables, like the weather. Imagine the weather outside impacting your office work indoors. Sounds inconvenient, right? That used to be a ...
At Exxon, virtual reality allows teams to train for tasks by performing them in controlled, learning environments, better preparing them for the real-life tasks. ...
