Advanced control of chromatography systems for automated analysis of monoclonal antibodies

Nedströmsprocesser för rening av biologiska läkemedel som monoklona antikroppar rör sig från batch-processer till kontinuerliga, och vidare till helt automatiska, kontinuerliga nedströmsprocsser. En del av visionen för automatiska reningsprocesser är möjligheten att automatiskt analysera från olika steg av reningen. Orbit är ett program som tillåter advancerad styrning av ÄKTA kromatografisystem fDownstream processes for purification of biological pharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies are moving from batchwise to not only fully continuous, but also fully automated production.

Beyond the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation: A Perturbative Approach

We propose and implement a beyond Gross-Pitaevskii approach based on Many-Body Perturbation theory (MBPT) for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BECs) ground states. Two partitions of the system Hamiltonian are considered. Firstly, a bosonic analogue to Møller-Plesset simply dubbed RSPT, and secondly an approach based on the Epstein-Nesbet partitioning scheme labeled ENPT. We consider one-dime
