The biologics or biopharmaceuticals, as they are commonly called, are generally composed of large, complex proteins which may or may not be glycosylated and are of human, plant or animal origin. These products have the potential to induce anti-drug-antibody (ADA) or cell-mediated immune response in patients. The immune response can range from a transient appearance of antibodies without any clinical significance to severe life threatening conditions such as severe hypersensitivity-type reactions, decrease in efficacy and induction of autoimmunity, including antibodies to the endogenous form of the protein.

(November 6, 2009) -Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced that the Human Nutrition Research (HNR) unit of the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Cambridge, UK, has selected the Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap Velos, MALDI LTQ Orbitrap XL and Exactive mass spectrometers. These systems leverage proprietary Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass-analyzer technology, the recognized standard for accurate mass and high-resolution measurement, to provide precise and reliable information. The MRC is using Orbitrap technology for high-throughput and http://www.pr-inside.com/thermo-scientific-orbitrap-technology-selected-r1569008.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:12:36 GMT http://www.pr-inside.com/thermo-scientific-orbitrap-technology-selected-r1569008.htm According to research conducted by CapSchell, arc flash incidents hospitalize five to seven workers per day in North America. One factor contributing to this high-incident rate is the lack of consistent electrical equipment maintenance practices across the industry. Aging electrical systems in workplaces also contribute to an increased probability of arc flash incidents. To address this risk, the Canadian Standards Association released CSA Z462, a standard on “Workplace Electrical Safety,” in December 2008. This standard seeks to minimize the general dangers associated with electrical systems in the workplace, including specific risks such as arc flash.
