RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – After his son underwent open heart surgery, Edward McGill decided to make a career change to prioritize his son’s care. He also needed to ensure his family’s financial stability. These priorities led him to Johnston Community College’s (JCC) BioWork Certificate program.
The 136-hour program provides students with the required foundational skills for a career as a process technician in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals or chemical manufacturing. Courses focus on topics including the biotechnology industry, work safety, current good manufacturing processes (cGMP) and chemistry for process manufacturing, among others.
The biomanufacturing industry makes products that sustain and improve life for many people. But creating vaccines, medications and therapeutics requires the right ingredients at the right time. The pandemic is rewriting how many companies do business. Whether securing raw materials, working with clients or training workers, the industry is evolving. Business North Carolina magazine, along with North Carolina Biosciences Organization, invited six leaders to discuss their industryâs current status, its biggest needs and where itâs headed.

Hilltip introduces BrineMixx 135-800 brine solution blender
BrineMixx is an external brine blender designed to achieve the ideal combination of water and salt.
LAKESIDE PARK, Ky. – Hilltip introduces its BrineMixx™ 135-800 brine solution blenders to accommodate the growing demand for the use of brine in ice maintenance programs. Available in three different sizes (135, 370 or 800 gallons), the BrineMixx is an external brine blender design that helps achieve the ideal combination of water and salt for either anti-icing or direct de-icing applications.
The BrineMixx works by filling the tank with fresh water and adding rock salt to preset amounts based on the amount of water present. Then the electric-powered, 103-gpm pump is activated, and the three-way valve opened to properly circulate the mixture. Since these are smaller batches, it doesn’t require much agitation to achieve the ideal salinity concentration of 23.3%. With the largest 800-gallon unit, it takes a little more
