Ultra-high sensitivity, expanded flexibility, increased stability and robustness - the new Nexera X2 UHPLC system targets routine analysis and applications in highly regulated environments demanding complex system setups.
Ultra-high sensitivity, expanded flexibility, increased stability and robustness - the new Nexera X2 UHPLC system targets routine analysis and applications in highly regulated environments demanding complex system setups.
System flexibility
The system flexibility is based on software features which control multiple gradients in a single system. This enables automated solvent blending on each pump in a binary gradient setup. The software has been adapted to meet the requirements for use in highly regulated environments.
Stability
Stability in gradient use has been improved by pump side modifications. Furthermore, design changes on inlet valve and degassing unit minimize air bubbles passing through the flow line and reduce their negative effects on stability and performance. For addressing specific applications, additional micro reactor based mixing devices can be selected accordingly. A newly designed low volume quaternary option reduces the system volume to meet UHPLC needs while enabling a better inter-system method transfer.
Sensitivity
The new SPD-M30A photodiode array detector is perfectly suited ultra-high sensitive applications using a capillary cell with low dispersion. Total reflection and a high energy deuterium lamp guarantee a low noise level. A novel temperature control principle decreases baseline drift and offers improved reliability even under changing environment conditions. Together with ultra-high speed data acquisition, software features which maximize resolution on the PDA while enabling peak deconvolution squeeze the maximum information out of a single analysis.

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.
