Background Mammalian cells are used extensively in the production of recombinant proteins, and of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in particular. The trend towards avoiding animal-derived components in biopharmaceutical production processes has led to the extensive use of nonanimal origin hydrolysates such as plant hydrolysates or yeast hydrolysates. The source of hydrolysates affects cell growth a...

As we enter the DUV lithography generation, the developmental phase of the photolithography process is becoming crucial due to the high costs associated with the lithography equipment. Improvements in the modeling of chemically amplified resists are necessary to extract the maximum possible information from the minimum amount of experimentation. The poor man’s dissolution rate monitor (drm) met...
