Towards autonomous antibody purification

Visionen för upprening av antikroppar är att processen ska vara helautomatisk. Ofta eftersträvas en kontinuerlig process eftersom det i de flesta fall innebär lägre kostnader för produktionen och att utrustningen kan vara mindre. Det är nödvändigt att tillföra mer buffertlösning under processens gång, och som en del av visionen ska även detta göras automatiskt. Orbit är en mjukvara som används av The vision of antibody purification is to have the whole process fully automatic. It is often desirable to have a continuous process since that reduces the costs for production and the size of the used equipment. It is necessary to supply buffer solutions to the purification steps, and as part of the vision; this should be done automatically. An in-house piece of software called Orbit is used for
