摘要

AFC Biosciences (www.sigma aldrich.com/safc) and Sartorius Stedim Biotech (www.sartorius-stedim.com) recently signed a global partnership agreement that combines Sartorius Stedim Biotech's expertise in filtration and liquid-handling systems with SAFCBiosciences' proficiency in development and manufacturing of cell culture media and downstream purification products. The companies will combine their expertise in generating application data on filter and mixing performance with critical purification buffers and cell culture media. Similarly, extractable and leachable data will be generated with buffers and media, and with filters and biobag combinations.
