Top Ten Instrument Companies – Then and Now
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the publication of SDI’s first Global Assessment Report in December of 1989. This was our first attempt to provide a comprehensive look at the entire analytical instrument industry. The spiral-bound tome weighed in at a trim 136 pages plus appendices. Over the ensuing 30 years, we have expanded […]
Bioprocess innovation: Why Not?
BioInformatics Inc. is frequently called upon by clients to explore the market for instruments and equipment used in bioprocessing. In our conversations with scientists we’ve come to learn why innovations occur at such a slow pace in bioprocessing and drug development despite the rate of technological and scientific advancements. Biotechnology and electronics are two high-tech […]
Continuous Upstream Bioprocessing
Continuous manufacturing has greatly benefited consumer societies. Assembly lines are obvious examples for discrete manufacturing, while process industries rely on automation to transform raw materials into products continuously, without stopping even for the next process step. For the expression of therapeutic proteins, continuous upstream processing involves culturing cells within a bioreactor based on hollow fiber […]
