Two of the largest companies in the pharma industry are to join forces to supply and distribute 96-well Multi-SPE Extraction Plates. The instruments, which are to be circulated by Millipore, are manufactured by 3M for the purpose of isolating and concentrating low levels of analytes, and function by removing substances that interfere with mass spectrometry signal detection. The devices feature 3M Empore membranes, which produce clean extracts, extend LC-MS/MS column life and decrease instrument downtime.

"SPE is a popular method for our customers, who need to focus on data quality at low detection limits. 3M technology is well-known for its performance, quality and reliability. The overall value is efficiency for high throughput sample processing," commented Jonathan DiVincenzo, VP of Millipore's marketing and R&D division
Simplified Access to Product Development
French company Groupe Novasep is to combine its process network with Rohm and Haas' advanced biosciences division. The strategic move, which gives Groupe Novasep direct access to customized separation media, and Rohm and Haas entry into advanced process development, including modelling and pilot-scale capabilities, should simplify access to a wide range of solutions by providing a single interface, as well as paving the way for the development of new products.
