• A Sneak Peek at Pharmaceutical Manufacturing's 2005 Job and Salary Survey
  , Jensen is seeing consistent salary increases for chemical and biochemical engineers, who also look good on both sides of the fence. He says annual raises of 5% are common, with companies getting more and more comfortable with raises above mere cost-of-living adjustments.Sharpen your skillsThere...
• MEMS and medicine
  Using technology borrowed from the semiconductor industry, companies are putting micron-sized components inside medical and biochemical devices. In this MEMS device built at Sandia National Laboratory, the top jaw closes on individual red blood cells as they cross the microchannel which is 20...

• Sleuths on the Case
  are combined, there are potentially 32 disaccharide units to be included in what is labeled "heparin." The size of the task suggested two more research groups be included: the Giuliana Ronzoni Institute for Chemical and Biochemical Research (Milan), which had been working with heparin for some time...
• Medical Device Link .
  for biomedical applications and are called either bioMEMS or microfluidics, which use liquid flow as part of their normal operation. Examples of microfluidics include miniature biochemical reaction chambers, lab on a chip, and microelectrode arrays. Since these components do not have the same...
• Medical Device Link .
  concerned with reagents, calibrators, markers, and control materials, the final performance of the test and the quality of the result may depend on the performance and design of the electrical equipment that is used to run an assay. The electrical equipment associated with these biochemical elements...
• Medical Device Link .
  sensitive and quantitative results from strip assays. The biochemical sensitivity of these assays is limited more by the lateral-flow strip technology than by the detection technology. Rapid improvements along several fronts--for example, in membrane properties and uniformity, magnetic-bead...
• In Search of Consistency
  at Ametek (Paoli, Pa.). Process MS derives the mass balance in a biochemical reactor from the composition of the feed air going in and the air coming out of the process. According to Slapikas, off-gases provide simpler, more accurate indications of what is going on in the process than sampling...
• Collaboration Through Visualization
  , are used to help identify candidate compounds based on the reactivity and conformation of genetic or cellular targets, such as the surfaces of viruses. A biochemical insight into a new treatment results in a lead drug candidate which can then enter the rest of the drug discovery process.In lead...
• Lessons from Heparin
  suggested two more research groups be. included: the Giuliana Ronzoni Institute for Chemical and Biochemical Research (Milan), which had been working with heparin for some time, and Momenta Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, Mass.), equipped with state-of-the-art high throughput analysis equipment...
