KeynoteA Case Study: Increasing Osmolality Testing Efficiency With the OsmoTECH® HT Plate-Based Micro-Osmometer
Solution Provider PresentationNova Biomedical collaborated with a leading human‑milk nutrition manufacturer (anonymized for confidentiality). The Company’s products have touched the lives of more than 125,000 critically ill infants. Attention to quality is a major area of focus when developing these products that are derived from human donors, with the aim of concentrating the nutritional composition consistently before release.
To ensure this, the donor and their milk undergo extensive screening processes before being cleared to processing. A vital step is the testing of the raw milk product. During this testing phase, the donor milk undergoes a critical osmolality test for product adulteration before being cleared to processing. With many incoming samples that require this test, an automated approach is needed to ensure workflow efficiency.
The OsmoTECH HT Micro‑osmometer from Nova Biomedical’s Advanced Instruments portfolio enables high‑throughput osmolality testing of up to 192 samples per run, allowing more donor samples to be screened simultaneously while significantly reducing hands‑on operator time. This poster highlights the workflow efficiencies and time savings achieved using the OsmoTECH HT

Seeing The Unseen: Advanced Characterisation Of Spray Dried Powders
Industry PresentationThis presentation explores how modern analytical techniques move beyond traditional bulk measurements to reveal individual particle properties. Through real case studies, it is shown how morphology, wall thickness, and particle level distributions provide deeper insight into spray dried and tabletted materials, enabling better formulation decisions, process understanding, and performance prediction.
1. In your experience, where have bulk powder properties been sufficient for decision‑making—and where have they clearly failed to predict clinical or manufacturability performance?
2. Which individual particle attribute do you believe most strongly impacts downstream pharmaceutical performance: morphology, internal structure, or particle‑to‑particle variability—and why?
Integration Of Advanced Kinetics Modeling Tool (AKM) In The Optimisation Of Bispecific Antibody Formulation Development
Industry PresentationIt is particularly important for biopharmaceutical companies developing and distributing fragile biomolecules to ensure the stability and activity of their products during long-term storage and shipment. In accordance with quality by design (QbD) principles, advanced kinetic modelling (AKM) has been successfully used to predict long-term product shelf-life, relying on Arrhenius-based kinetic models built from data generated in short-term accelerated stability studies.
In the case presented, AKM was used to support formulation selection. AKM predicted 3-year HMWs formation for the bispecific using only 6-month stability data on several prototypes.
This predictive approach allowed us to make the best-informed decision on the maximal concentration for commercial formulation lock in a context of significant aggregation compound.

KeynoteWhat Is Next For Neurodegenerative Diseases
Industry PresentationNeurodegenerative diseases remain one of the most urgent unmet challenges in medicine, marked by rising prevalence and limited disease-modifying treatments. Despite decades of research, progress has been incremental, with many therapies addressing symptoms rather than underlying biology. However, advances in molecular targeting, biomarker-driven diagnosis, and precision delivery are beginning to shift the landscape. The next phase will likely be defined by earlier intervention, combination approaches, and technologies capable of reaching previously inaccessible regions of the brain.
