Facing adversity with humor, some chromatographers are drawing on the healing power of laughter to deal with the frustrations of chromatography systems that just won’t work.

This researcher sings a tune many will recognize from their own frustrations with overly complex chromatography instruments. The NGC™ chromatography system offers a simple, user-friendly interface so even students with little experience will beat the “learning curve blues.”

Meet Janna and Tomas. After hearing competing claims about the scalability of next-generation chromatography systems, this dynamic duo took it upon themselves to discover the truth. Now let’s face it, when you think of protein purification you don’t usually think of good times. But somehow Janna and Tomas manage to keep the mood light even as they put the systems to the test by simulating changing protein purification needs. Their conclusion? Vote Yes for Better Chromatography. Vote Yes for Bio-Rad.

A day in the life of Maria, a post-graduate scientist. Both Maria and her PI are annoyed with their unreliable, out-dated protein purification system, and her PI asks Maria to buy them a new one. She struggles to find a system that meets all their needs until she remembers that Bio-Rad has a new next-generation chromatography system that will work for everyone!

The Fraser lab at University of California Davis tested Bio-Rad’s NGC system for the purification of ribosomal complex proteins in their studies of protein translation mechanisms. The NGC system enabled these researchers to significantly increase their protein purification throughput and save valuable time in the lab.
