    Abstract: An apparatus for automated determining of at least two different process parameters of a process liquid of a process, especially a bioprocess, comprising: a first measuring cell, which is embodied to provide a first measurement signal dependent on a first process parameter of a first sample of the process liquid; a second measuring cell, which is embodied to provide a second measurement signal dependent on a second process parameter of a second sample of the process liquid; and a control and evaluation system, which serves for monitoring and/or controlling the process, and which is embodied to receive and to process the first and second measurement signals, especially based on the first measurement signal to determine a measured value of the first process parameter and based on the second measurement signal to determine a measured value of the second process parameter; wherein the first measurement signal and the second measurement signal serve different functions in the context of the monitoring and/or controlling of the process. The first process parameter can be a control parameter (critical process parameter, CPP), and the second process parameter can be a product quality parameter (critical quality attribute, CQA) of the process.

    Abstract: A method of characterizing a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) stem cell (GSC), comprising culturing the GSC to provide a culture, contacting a first set of aliquots of the culture with individual compounds selected from a panel of compounds, identifying two or more of the selected compounds that cause more than a threshold level of cell death in the first set of aliquots, and characterizing the GSC as suitable for treatment with one or more combinations comprising the two or more identified compounds. A panel of chemical compounds, the compounds selected by a method comprising surgically resecting the tumor, culturing a GSC derived from GBM tissue derived from a GBM tumor, contacting aliquots thereof with individual compounds selected from a panel of compounds, and identifying two or more of the selected compounds that cause more than a threshold level of cell death in the aliquots, thereby identifying the compounds.

    Abstract: Disclosed are high concentration reagents for use in preparing DNA samples in low volume reactions. Such reagents include, for example, DNA end repair buffers for use in low volume DNA blunting and phosphorylating reactions, DNA adenylating buffers for use in a low volume DNA adenylating reaction, and DNA ligation buffers for use in low volume DNA adaptor ligation reactions with adaptors. Also disclosed are customized reagent plates and kits containing one or more of these low volume buffers for use in low volume DNA blunting, phosphorylating, adenylating, and ligation reactions. Methods of using the high concentration reagents (low volume buffers) and the customized reagent plates for preparing DNA sequencing libraries in low volume reactions are also disclosed.
