Improved mini-silo for studying fermentation of silage in laboratory conditions

Silage Fermentation & Additives

The primary goal of making silage is to maximize the preservation of original nutrients in the forage crop for feeding at a later date. Unfortunately, fermentation in the silo is a very uncontrolled process usually leading to less than optimal preservation of nutrients. In order to assist in the fermentation process, various silage additives have been used to improve the nutrient and energy rec...

Optimized fermentation conditions for improved antibody yield in hybridoma cells

Background Traditionally antibody producing cells like hybridoma cells sank into oblivion since other suspension cell lines have captured the biopharmaceutical production market. However, they are still of particular interest in academic and industrial diagnostic research. Hence, fast and sufficient antibody production is needed as proof of concept, for toxicology and in vivo studies. Although,...

Laboratory astrochemistry: studying molecules under inter- and circumstellar conditions

In this paper, we outline recent developments in and the growing need for laboratory astrochemical measurements. After a short review on experimental methods, we focus primarily upon the utility of multi-electrode ion trapping methods for addressing key problems in reaction dynamics and their applications towards gaining a better understanding of the physicochemical driving forces behind compos...
