Irish manufacturer of gas chromatographs and gas analysers, AGC Instruments, has relocated to a purpose built, state-of-the-art facility.
Irish manufacturer of gas chromatographs and gas analysers, AGC Instruments, has relocated to a purpose built, state-of-the-art facility.
The new facility overlooks the Shannon International Airport, which offers all year round accessibility to customers worldwide, and will house the majority of the company’s operations.
This year will see the launch of a new suite of instrumentation to further enhance the company’s product offering, which the company claims will enable it to achieve a higher standard in gas chromatography and reach out to more customers.
The timing of this move also coincides with the AGC Instruments China Office moving to a larger and more customer-focused facility in Beijing where it can meet the needs of that customer base.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
