US' DuPont launches AmberChrom TQ1 for biopharma applications
DuPont has expanded its bioprocessing portfolio with the launch of DuPont AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin for the purification of oligonucleotides and peptides in support of a wide-range of biopharma applications. DuPont has launched AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin for purifying oligonucleotides and peptides, expanding its bioprocessing portfolio. The resin offers high capacity, throughput, and purity with low pressure, suitable for all scales. Internal studies using real-world drug feeds validated its performance across development stages. 'The introduction of DuPont AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin supports the accelerated development and commercialization of oligonucleotide and peptide therapeutics,' said Shane Kendra, Global Bioprocessing Market Leader for DuPont Water Solutions. 'In addition to expanding our capabilities, this new anion exchange chromatography resin offers exceptional performance, setting a new standard in this product class and creating new opportunities in high growth therapy areas.' The new agarose-based chromatography resin offers increased loading capacity, higher throughput, and requires less pressure than comparable competing products within the same class. These characteristics make DuPont AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin an excellent choice for high resolution separations and polishing, offering high purity fractions in biomolecule purifications and the separation of closely-related impurities from target molecules. Its low-pressure build-up, combined with high-yield and purity for peptides and both DMT-Off and DMT-On oligonucleotides, makes the resin suitable for use in benchtop and large-scale commercial purifications. To support the introduction of the resin, DuPont has published comprehensive internal application studies that used real-world drug feeds to validate performance characteristics; this documentation can also assist with the integration of the product into processes at every phase from drug discovery through commercialization. 'Further expansion of DuPont's bioprocessing portfolio reflects our commitment to providing a comprehensive one-stop shop for the purification and polishing of oligonucleotides and peptides,' said Kendra. 'Our technical teams and scientists are continually collaborating with customers to design efficient bioprocessing solutions for every stage of the drug development journey.' DuPont AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin can be used in combination with existing AmberChrom XT and CG chromatography resins to purify various oligonucleotide feeds, or for the crude purification of peptide feeds in preparation for reverse phase chromatography. DuPont introduced the new chromatography resin to the market during TIDES USA—a conference dedicated to accelerating oligonucleotide and peptide innovations. Hadi Fares, Ph.D, a bioprocessing application scientist with DuPont, presented application studies to demonstrate the performance capabilities of DuPont AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin, and how it complements existing resins within the DuPont bioprocessing portfolio. On June 19, 2025, DuPont will host an educational webinar discussing the capabilities of DuPont AmberChrom TQ1 chromatography resin and how its loading capacity and purification efficacy can enhance purification of oligonucleotides and peptides. As a global market leader in adsorbents and ion exchange resins with over 80 years of experience, DuPont bioprocessing solutions can accelerate and enhance the discovery and production of small molecule synthetics, oligonucleotides, and peptides, as well as diagnostics, by enabling complicated separations that help companies achieve their vision to manage and treat diseases.

Celebrated artist Bhanu Shah passes away at 90
Ahmedabad: Distinguished abstract painter, designer and internationally acclaimed kite flier Bhanu Shah, passed away peacefully at his residence in Ahmedabad on Sunday night. He was 90. Shah, who served as the former director of Sanskar Kendra, was widely recognized for his philanthropic contributions through art. His notable achievements include curating The Kite Museum at the Kendra in 1986, which earned him international recognition. A graduate of fine arts from MS University in 1952, Shah's artistic journey included over 35 solo shows and 52 group exhibitions globally. He was honoured with the Gujarat Gaurav Puraskar and Lalit Kala Akademi National Award in the late 1960s. Shah's famous works include the Raga Series, a series of vibrant abstracts that he created in his 80s while listening to classical vocalist Ajay Chakraborty. Shah's commitment to humanitarian causes was evident in his charitable works. At 86, he raised Rs 2 crore for Gujarat Cancer Research Institute (GCRI) through the sale of 101 paintings. In 2014, he donated paintings worth Rs 50 lakh to The Child Cancer Foundation, New Zealand, after he lost his father to cancer. "Shah was the pioneer of progressive painters' movement in Gujarat," said noted artist Vrindavan Solanki, adding that Shah was an intellectual who brought literary scholars and his contemporaries namely Piraji Sagara, Balkrishna Patel, Mansing Chhara, Chaganlal Yadav, Jeram Patel and others to transform the city into a vibrant art hub in his times. Anil Relia, veteran art collector and scholar, said that the quality of some of Shah's artworks are on a par with the creations of legendary artist V S Gaitonde. Artist Amit Ambalal said, "He will be remembered for his childlike enthusiasm, active experimentation and unique designs across media." Esther David, writer and Shah's contemporary, said she hopes that as an appropriate tribute to Shah's contributions, The Kite Museum would be refurbished and named after him.
