Collaboration to Advance Biomanufacturing Technologies for Crop Protection Products Announced
Ingenza has reached a major technical milestone with Syngenta in their collaboration to develop efficient manufacturing technologies for innovative crop protection products. Ingenza’s leadership in industrial biotechnology and synthetic biology has been validated by this application of key microbial gene maintenance and expression technologies which will now be further developed by Syngenta. The collaboration capitalises on Ingenza’s proprietary inABLE suite of capabilities in gene expression, microbial strain improvement and bioprocess scale up.
Dr Ian Fotheringham, Managing Director at Ingenza said “We are delighted by the results of our collaboration with Syngenta. Ingenza’s innovative technologies add significant value to further support Syngenta’s leading position in agricultural biotechnology. Ingenza looks forward to establishing an exceptional partnership with Syngenta, working together to enhance global agriculture and food security.
Dr Paul Oeller, Head of Technology Acquisition at Syngenta said “There are significant challenges associated with finding new technologies to feed the world’s population and we are always looking to work with external technology providers to achieve these goals. It has been a pleasure working with the Ingenza team. The collaborative and innovative culture shared between the Ingenza and Syngenta teams has made this collaboration a success. We are excited about the next phase of work to further evaluate the technology.”

Modern Kjeldahl Analysis
Velp Scientifica provides scientists with a complete system to perform Kjeldahl analysis for nitrogen/protein determination (TKN). The DKL Digesters maximise automation, including automatic lift and vacuum control. A large program library, including the most commonly used international methodologies already installed, simplifies operation and saves time. Run data can be stored via a USB connection for optimised transfer on top models. A range of models is available to suit the required sample capacity.
The UDK Distillation Units provide different choice of automation level all ensuring simplicity of operation and full protection of the sample and operator. High technology level inside such as the Velp patented steam generator (it operates without pressure), the titanium condenser (patent pending) whit extremely reduced water consumption and the technopolymer splash head that ensures that all nitrogen is analysed for the highest possible accuracy of results. UDK 159 & UDK 169, the top of the range, incorporate a colorimetric titrator (AOAC recommended).
Velp offers also a complete set of consumables such as Catalysts Tablets (KjTabsTM) and boric acid powder formula with indicators for colorimetric titration (VreceverTM). Velp Kjeldahl system ensure compatibility to AOAC, EPA, DIN and ISO standards.

Removal of Solvents from Oil and Fat Samples
Genevac reports on special evaporative techniques for removal of solvents from oil and fat samples. Working with oils and fats can be difficult. Whether extracting and recovering additives, evaluating lipid content of foods or characterising reclaimed cooking oils before reprocessing or conversion to biofuels, oils and fats can be difficult to dry.
Extraction and separation techniques, including Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE), Counter Current Chromatography and Dialysis, all normally present samples dissolved in an organic solvent. These samples must be dried or concentrated before analysis. Removing all the solvent can often be difficult without using very high temperatures or other harsh operating protocols which may lead to loss of more volatile fractions from the oil or fat sample.
Working with researchers involved with oil and fat applications, Genevac has developed methodologies based on their EZ-2 and the Rocket Evaporators that significantly enhance recovery and results. When working with larger solvent volumes, additional productivity benefits can be gained when these evaporators are used with SampleGenie™ technology which enables large volumes to be concentrated or dried directly into a small vial.
Many oil and fat analyses require use of potentially explosive solvents, such as di-ethyl ether. These can be safely evaporated in Genevac evaporator systems fitted with the Inert Gas Purge option, which removes all the air from the system before use, replacing it with inert gas and thereby eliminating the risk of explosive incidents.
