Interphex Stands Test of Time (and Economy)

Gamajet Cleaning Systems Booth #2572
Tank cleaning machines and equipment clean and remove residues from the interior of tanks and vessels through the use of impingement cleaning. Gamajet tank cleaning machines are used to clean the interiors of virtually any size or type of tank, bin, or vessel, including drums, totes, and IBCs. All Gamajet tank cleaning machines are field serviceable, rugged, durable, and versatile.

Greiner Bio-One Booth #961
Greiner Bio-One presents its CytoCheck mycoplasma detection and identification kit at Interphex 2009. CytoCheck uses DNA microarrays to identify mycoplasmas in cell cultures, and includes universal and species-specific probes that can identify 40 different mycoplasma species. This species-level identification allows rapid determination of the source of the contamination, allowing corrective and preventative measures to be implemented quickly. CytoCheck is suitable for quality assurance in the production of biologics, including vaccines, antibodies, and therapeutic proteins. The use of CytoCheck is consistent with CBER’s 1993 “Points to Consider in the Characterization of Cell Lines Used to Produce Biologicals” recommendations regarding mycoplasma testing.

Pall Life Sciences Booth #2006
Pall Life Sciences is a leading provider of filtration, separation and purification technologies. New products featured at Interphex 2009 include a complete range of modular, disposable, self-contained high-performance depth filter capsules available from development scale through to systems that process tens of thousands of liters.

New high performance cartridge filters for Mycoplasma removal add to a range of featured contaminant removal products capable of removing bacteria, viruses, host cell protein, DNA and endotoxin. Both single-use systems featuring Allegro biocontainers and stainless steel-based systems may be applied for fluid management. At smaller scales, pre-packed chromatography columns, and additions to Pall’s extensive range of chromatography sorbents, will be demonstrated. Pharmaceutical quality control products feature rapid microbiology systems, including new developments in ready-to-use, simple, real time qPCR-based technologies.

Polychromix Booth #127
Polychromix is a leader in miniaturized and handheld NIR spectrometers and analyzers. Using a unique MEMS (Mirco-Electro-Mechanical-System) technology enables construction of a new breed of handheld spectroscopic devices which are smaller, lighter and cheaper than ever possible before. The PHAZIR and POD product lines are broadly used in a variety of quantitative and qualitative pharmaceutical applications including raw material inspection, at-line and online process control, moisture content analysis and more. They enable the expert as well as the non-technical user to perform accurate material analysis with minimal training, leading to process simplification and streamlining.
