Chemical Indicator Inks 

Chemical indicator inks are used in various end-use industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare to monitor and confirm the sterilization process. There has been an increasing demand for medical sterilization processes in hospitals and other healthcare facilities worldwide. Indicator ink compositions are fixed to a surface of an article and comprise a water-based dispersion containing phenol-formaldehyde resin. The composition can be formulated to react under certain conditions, thereby changing color if the article is exposed to a specific sterilization process. The composition may be a fixed or removable ink and can be applied to a wide variety of articles such as surgical instruments, disposable medical equipment, prefilled syringes, and IV pouches.

Tempilinks are inks formulated to change color under a variety of sterilization conditions, most commonly printed using flexographic or gravure printing methods. They are primarily used in Sterile Barrier Systems (SBS) to provide visual evidence of exposure to a sterilization process, such as an oven, a steamer, or a vacuum sealer. According to Coherent Market Insights the Chemical Indicator Inks Market Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028.

These indicators can be formulated to change color under various of conditions, including time, temperature, pressure, energy, and the presence or absence of certain chemicals. The composition can be formulated to react to a specific set of conditions, such as a dry saturated steam cycle for 10 minutes at 121deg C. +3/-0 K or a wet saturated steam cycle for 2 minutes at 134deg C. +3/-0 K, or under any combination of these conditions.

Examples of a fixed indicator ink composition include a phthalate-free polymer-based indicator ink composed of a phosphate-modified cellulose dispersion. The phenol-formaldehyde is preferably a copolymer or polymer.

The composition may be a polymer-based indicator ink composed of a polyamide curing agent which contains an amine-terminated polyamide cross-linking agent for the phenol-formaldehyde. The amine-terminated polyamide is preferably a cyanoacrylate.

Centrient Pharmaceuticals signed an agreement for acquiring Astral SteriTech Private Limited, in February 2021. With this acquisition, Centrient will strengthen its position in beta-lactam antibiotics market.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...

Organic Milk Has Much Higher Concentration Of Iron, Vitamin E, And Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Omega-3 And Omega-6 As Compared To Regular Milk

Image
  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C...
