LOWELL, Mass. (PRWEB)
November 01, 2019

SP Scientific was delighted to support today the ribbon-cutting event officially launching the new UMass Lowell state-of-the-art, pilot-scale lyophilization facility. As the newest member of UMass Lowell’s Core Research Facilities, this non-GMP Lyophilization Lab (LyoBay) provides an R&D test bed for process development, scale-up and the development and application of new process analytical technologies. It will also serve as a user facility for pre-clinical process development and training to support the local and national biotechnology industry.

This facility includes a new SP Scientific S20 LyoConstellation production freeze dryer. LyoConstellation is a Line of Sight™-enabled freeze-drying system with very powerful refrigeration, delivering an expanded equipment capability and a large process space. This allows the development of highly aggressive cycles and the mapping of the furthest reaches of theoretical design space for a formulation. When handling high-value active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), and with a need to bring product to market as quickly and safely as possible, LyoConstellation addresses early stage development under aseptic and controlled conditions. This means product behaves in the same manner once it is ready for scale-up and eventually ready for commercialization.

This new pilot-scale lyophilization facility, an important addition to the UMass Lowell innovation ecosystem, was developed with generous support from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and from the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL). A NIIMBL funded project team led by Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) of Andover, MA, and including UMass Lowell, the University of Connecticut, Purdue University, Merck, and Genentech, are guiding the facility development and will be the inaugural users of the facility developing process scale-up tools to support improved biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

As well as the grand ribbon-cutting opening, the celebration included a list of invited guest speakers including representatives from PSI Inc., Pfizer, NIIMBL, Mass Life Sciences Center, UMass Lowell, as well as local and state government officials. The event included a tour of the new facility and an opportunity to visit some of the other R&D labs available in UMass Lowell’s Core Research Facilities.

PINCKNEY, Mich. (PRWEB)
November 01, 2019

Monster Tree Service, the nation’s first and fastest-growing tree service franchise, is expanding into Michigan. Recently featured by SUCCESS magazine, Thrive Global, and Franchise Times, the Monster Tree Service franchise continues to build on its rapid three-year franchise system growth.

Business entrepreneur Michael Porter has purchased the rights to a Monster Tree Service Territory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, covering Pinckney, South Lyon, Brighton, Ann Arbor and surrounding areas. Porter is already getting down to business with a unique marketing strategy that combines his entrepreneurial ambitions with his passion for University of Michigan football.

Porter sponsors a 30-minute weekly segment called the “Monster Moment of the Game” on Sports Talk radio 1050 AM, which covers Michigan Wolverines football. A lifelong Michigan fan, Mike gets to talk about his business and big plays of the game, every week. The show is fun and profitable for Porter!

“I’ve done work for the head coach, Jim Harbaugh, and other local celebrities,” says Porter. “I routinely get calls from fellow Michigan fans who heard me on the radio and need work done on their properties. After we schedule their Monster Tree Service work, we’ll talk football. It’s a great way to connect with the community.”

Josh Skolnick, CEO and Founder of Monster Tree Service, is confident that Porter will be a tremendous asset to the Monster Tree Service franchise.

“Michael is a perfect fit for the Monster Tree Service brand,” says Skolnick. “His deep understanding of business, incredible work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit makes him a great addition to our team. I can’t wait to see his growth in the coming years.”

Monster Tree Service is the only franchise tree company capitalizing on the under-served $17 billion tree service industry. Monster Tree Service has achieved consistent year-over-year, 5 percent growth since 2009, resulting in a $10+ million business. Because it’s a high-upside opportunity, and a recession-proof business, Monster Tree Service expects to achieve $100 million in sales by 2021.

“There are almost 100 lakes around Ann Arbor,” says Porter. “We specialize in big tree removals on lake properties. The homes are so tightly packed along the lakefronts that we routinely bring in a crane and lift the tree right over the home. We even did one tree removal by kayak! It can be very challenging, but we have a team of professionals with the knowledge and experience to deal with this unique concern in our community. We are also excited to offer our wide array of services, including, plant health care, tree and shrub pruning and more.”
