	www.diessel.com GEA Diessel produces and supplies process systems for the production of liquid products for the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. That range includes complete plant and components for the preparation of media, fermentation, and purification for the production of vaccines, therapeutic and biotechnologically manufactured agents are also part of the scope of supply.
	www.sonosep.com The company SONOSEP Technologies has developed a novel fluid-particle and fluid-fluid separation system based on the utilization of ultrasonic standing wave fields. Specialized hardware components for the generation of such standing wave fields, such as advanced ultrasonic power controllers and application-specific ultrasonic resonator cavities, are produced by SONOSEP. Intellectual proprietary rights related to maximized separation efficiency at minimized energy consumption, and the maintenance of viable conditions within the fluid while being processed, are protected by patents. The collaboration is focused on the development, marketing and distribution of cell retention systems like the BioSep.
	www.metrohm.com Metroglas AG Metroglas develops and manufactures electrochemical sensors for a variety of applications including titration, pH and conductivity measurement. The partnership with Applikon is focussed on those sensors that are to be applied under sterile conditions like in bioreactors such as probes for dissolved oxygen and pH. The partnership includes the development of new sensor technologies for application under cGMP conditions (in bioreactors)."
	www.tftak.org Competence Centre of Food and Fermentation Technologies (CCFFT) was established on June 15th, 2004. and became fully operational from October 27th, 2004. The laboratory facilities were launched in the beginning of 2005, and they have been in practically full use since April 2005. The new technologies established recently – genomics and proteomics, systems biology present new possibilities to consider the detailed physical and chemical characteristics of starter bacteria and other industrial microorganisms, as well as raw materials and additives to optimize the production processes, to develop new products with precisely tuned functional properties. Besides systems biology nutrigenomics is a new challenge for the cutting edge food science and product development.
