The Chromatography Chronicles Part 1: The Votes Are in — Customer Voices and the NGC Chromatography System Design Process
Whether through unreliability, lack of workflows, or poor design, chromatography systems can cause major hassles for any lab involved in purifying proteins. Would Bio-Rad be able to solve these longstanding problems? This new series takes an inside look at the development of the NGC medium-pressure chromatography system. This month: bringing customers into the design process.

Revealing BRCA2 Pathways in Cancer with Bio-Rad’s V3 Western Workflow
Twenty years after the discovery of the link between BRCA gene mutations and breast cancer, researcher Ryan Jensen of the Yale Medical School is looking into the interactions between the DNA repair protein RAD51 and BRCA proteins using Bio-Rad’s V3 Western Workflow.

Reliable, Streamlined 2-D Western Blot Workflow for Evaluation of Antibodies Developed for Detection of Host Cell Proteins
Removing host cell protein (HCP) contaminants represents an essential step in the production of biologics (therapeutic protein drugs), but has long been a time- and labor-intensive process. Here, we demonstrate a simpler, quicker, and more standardized workflow for evaluating anti-HCP antibodies using 2-D electrophoresis and western blotting.
