Millipore Corp. donated $225,000 in equipment and services for a new process lab at UMass-Lowell aimed at developing the Bay State’s life sciences workforce.
The Billerica-based laboratory instruments maker‘s donation of clarification, chromatography, ultrafiltration/diafiltration and disposable mixing systems earned it the right to name the Millipore Corporation Process Development Laboratory, which will be used for downstream purification research and as a training facility.
It’s not the first public/private partnership for UMass-Lowell, which already hosts the IPS-Wyeth-Dakota Systems BioManufacturing Pilot Plant at its Massachusetts BioManufacturing Center.
