Large-scale downstream processing of viruses can face a range of obstacles different from those of many biotherapeutics. These challenges mostly arise from the size and complexity of the virus, which can affect product purity and recovery. Improvements of purification tools are necessary to overcome these challenges and must be engineered for easy scalability to meet manufacturing demands. In this video, Dr. Mark Snyder discusses common difficulties when developing purification strategies for vaccine production and gene therapy.

Learn how to improve your western blotting results with our Quick Tips video series. Watch these 1–2 minute videos see how to perfect each step of the western blotting process.

Learn best practices and guidelines for successfully packing different types of chromatography resins in this video webinar. This includes incompressible resins, like CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Media, as well as traditional compressible resins. In general, parameters such as compression factor, settling rate, and attributes of the base matrix need to be considered when packing resins at process scale. Packing methods can be adapted to obtain simple, highly reproducible packing. Get tips here.

It is imperative to plan and prepare ahead of time for your research using Bio-Plex Assays to be successful. Good assay planning and preparation reduces mistakes and makes for a stress-free assay run. In this series of short videos, we share some simple steps you can take to make sure your work goes smoothly.

Through the CFX Duet Real-Time PCR System, our newest generation of quantitative PCR (qPCR) instrumentation, this technology is now even more accessible for molecular biologists and other professionals doing essential qPCR. With CFX Maestro Software, you can perform duplex detection, gene expression, and genotyping, all without paying for additional optics you don’t need. Check out our video tour of the new CFX Duet System.

RNA-Seq library preparation is a manually intensive, time-consuming process prone to bias from the multiple enzymes required. So, how can you trust your sequencing results? Bio-Rad is revolutionizing RNA-Seq library prep with the SEQuoia Express Stranded RNA Library Prep Kit – a three-hour, three-tube solution eliminating the need for multiple enzymes and reducing both the number of pipetting steps and protocol time. The key is an engineered, proprietary retrotransposon called SEQzyme. With this serial template jumping, or continuous synthesis, reaction you can obtain an unbiased, stranded RNA-Seq library constructed to accurately represent both messenger and non-coding RNA from your sample.

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification methods often involve the use of resin-based chromatography. In this video, we compare a three-step mAb purification workflow, which uses Nuvia Ion Exchange Resins post–Protein A capture, to a two-step purification workflow, which includes a Protein A capture step followed by a mixed-mode chromatography step using Nuvia aPrime 4A Resin, a hydrophobic anion exchange resin. We present an additional two-step purification approach using Protein A resin followed by a calcium affinity cation exchange media, CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite XT Media. The results of both studies demonstrate that a high purity product can be attained using one fewer unit operation than traditional workflows.

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT) pathway is involved in the control of numerous critical cellular processes. PI3K-AKT pathway dysfunction has been observed in several diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune and neurological disorders. In this animation, learn more about the molecular characteristics and function of the PI3K-AKT pathway and how AKT mutation plays a role in tumorigenesis.
