For users who have to handle large glass GL 45 laboratory bottles, DWK Life Sciences has introduced a system for the manual transport of bottles. The system was developed to help users safely handle the larger laboratory bottles, which can be heavy and difficult to move when filled with liquid. The DURAN® GL 45 Bottle Carrying System is built around a specially designed GL 45 bottle collar...

AMSBIO, a global provider of gene editing and personalized medicine technologies, has launched a service for high throughput gene expression analysis. Based on the NanoString nCounter platform, the service works with a large array of sample types, including formats such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE), which have been difficult to analyse by more traditional quantitative PCR...

BBI Solutions has released four new antibodies specific for the HIV-1 p24 capsid protein. The antibodies are the first evidence of BBI using the internal antibody custom service expertise gained through the acquisition of Maine Biotechnology Services, to develop products for their reagent suite. Having a combined team of antibody and assay development specialists allowed...

Nosopharm, a company dedicated to the research and development of new anti-infective drugs, announces that it has renewed its partnership with the French National Institute of Agricultural Research (Inra). This partnership with Inra’s Diversity, Genomes and Insects-Microorganisms Interactions laboratory (DGIMI) aims...

New research from Northumbria University has revealed that metal-related pollution began in the Balkans more than 500 years before it appeared in western Europe, and persisted throughout the Dark Ages and Medieval Period, meaning the region played a far bigger role in mineral exploitation than previously believed. The study provides a new perspective on both the timing...

Robert Gordon University (RGU) has received a boost this week with the news that the Scottish Government’s new Chief Scientific Advisor Marine has chosen to be based at the university’s School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences. Professor Colin Moffat, a marine scientist and researcher, has recently been appointed as Chief Scientific Advisor Marine to the Scottish Government...

Thermo Scientific Q Exactive UHMR Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer brings great sensitivity and high resolution to understand protein structure and interactions. Structural biologists and biopharmaceutical scientists now have access to an ultra-high mass range (UHMR) mass spectrometer...

Join scientists from around the world at the must-attend conference of the year where you will gain information that will help you identify solutions to practical problems in all areas of preparative and process chromatography....

Traditionally PET imaging has been offered with one, two, three or even four rings of detectors with gaps between the rings. MR Solutions, the independent world leader in preclinical imaging, is now offering continuous PET detection thus avoiding any artefacts caused by the gaps between the rings....

When speaking with researchers we identified the wish for a flexible and future-proof LED light source for single and multiband fluorescence microscopy. With the niji’s uniquely reconfigurable mainframe, LEDs and filters can be changed by the user in minutes, there’s no need to know today what wavelength you need in the future,” said Alan Hughes, Director of Bluebox Optics....

BioTek introduces the affordable, user-friendly Synergy LX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader to automate the most common microplate-based assays. A high quality, unique dual-optics design enables absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence measurements without compromising performance or budget. “There are many multi-mode microplate readers on the market....

Researchers have demonstrated novel parasite behaviour which offers a potential new target for malaria diagnosis and intervention. Malaria, a blood borne disease caused by single cell parasites, remains a major global public health issue with millions of cases, and nearly half a million deaths every year. The new discovery in the parasite’s biology is revealed across a set of three studies led by the University of Glasgow’s Wellcome Centre for Molecular Parasitology...
