Atelerix has just launched BloodReady™, a game-changing solution in whole blood preservation! 🩸🔬 For the first time, fresh whole blood can be stored for up to 3 days at refrigerated temperatures (2-8°C)—without cryopreservation or chemical fixation. This revolutionary innovation maintains immune cell integrity, ensuring more reliable diagnostics, flexible transport, and efficient batch testing for clinical research, biopharma, and diagnostics labs worldwide. Backed by scientific validation, BloodReady™ outperforms traditional methods: ✅ >95% leukocyte viability after 3 days (vs. just 12% with cryopreservation) ✅ Minimal impact on immune cell proportions & biomarkers ✅ Seamless global transport & logistics Dr. Steve Swioklo, Chief Scientific Officer of Atelerix, calls it a “paradigm shift” in blood sample preservation, while CEO Alastair Carrington highlights its transformational impact on bioscience logistics. With BloodReady™, Atelerix is setting a new gold standard in whole blood storage - eliminating logistical bottlenecks and opening up new possibilities for clinical trials, diagnostics, and drug development.

Meet our exhibitors! The RESILIENCE Medicines Manufacturing Skills Centre of Excellence is a collaborative initiative among the University of Birmingham, Heriot-Watt University, University College London, Teesside University, and Britest Ltd. This partnership unites leading regional training providers in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing to support the UK's life sciences workforce by delivering high-quality training and outreach programs to help build a pipeline of talent for future medicines manufacturing. Their comprehensive approach spans the entire career pipeline, catering to industry professionals, colleges, training providers, academia, and the NHS. The Centre adopts a coordinated and scalable strategy for skills development, offering a network of academic delivery partners with a proven track record in training for the medicines manufacturing community. Innovative methods include co-created, co-branded core materials for training and outreach that are easily scalable across the UK, as well as digital training approaches (VR/AR) utilising cutting-edge virtual and mixed reality technologies and software to ensure standardisation across their network, in both technical skills (FourPlus) and inclusive leadership (BodySwaps). The Heriot-watt university RESILIENCE team will be exhibiting on the level 3 Innovation Zone on day 1. Come and speak to them, try out the virtual reality demos, and hear about how you can join as a member and also if you’re a college, university or company interested in enhanced membership.

💡Did you know medicines and other valuable molecules can be made by cells and often are produced inside of a cell 🦠. When scaling a process we use high pressure #homogenisation to release these. 👏Thanks to GEA Group and their #PandaPlus2000 we are able to provide invaluable hands-on training for #IndustrialBiotech MSc from University of Strathclyde. Combined with VR/AR training from RESILIENCE we are able to give students training in techniques at scale, Downstream Bioprocessing #DSP and GMP 🚀 #FlexBIO is a bioprocessing scale-up facility hosted at Heriot-Watt University, part of RESILIENCE, managed by Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre and part of the Pilots4U by CoPilot EU initiate of pilot scale facilities and we ❤️ training the workforce of the future.
