Ziath reports how it has worked with the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) which has developed a pioneering automated test robot, called STRIP-1, which can process up to 20,000 samples for SARS-CoV-2 testing in just 24 hours. This makes it much faster than all other automated SARS-CoV-2 testing systems used to date. In addition, all samples can be tracked precisely because they have a 2D-barcode on the bottom of each tube that is scanned multiple times throughout the process....

The new line of products, available exclusively in the UK and Ireland from SLS gives laboratories control over their gas and LN2 supplies and promotes sustainability by eliminating the need for cross-country transportation of gas cannisters and Dewar flasks. On-site generation of gas and LN2 has gained popularity in recent years, as more companies have decided to free themselves from having to rely on external suppliers....

Watch two scientists with two different research focus areas read their love letters, where they will share the details of their aspirations, admiration and of course, their very similar love for their cells. “Soon, we will develop artificial cells capable of defending the body from viral or bacterial infections” Dr. Vivek A. Kamat, Postdoctoral Associate has a particular focus on understanding how cells respond to electrical impulses in order to help develop implantable or variable sensors. Dr. Marietta Hartl, Postdoctoral Researcher...

With the ANALYSETTE 22 NeXT the precise measurement of particle sizes becomes a simple matter – even for employees with brief instructions and no prior knowledge. Whether in production and quality control, research and development, in the lab or for incoming and outgoing goods inspection, where its robust mechanics are an additional advantage. A brief introduction to the instrument is sufficient; the rest runs automatically....

The proven particle sizer ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer in combination with the NEW automatic and powerful wet dispersion is especially suitable for fine particles, poorly flowing, fine-agglomerating or sticky materials that do not react in water or other liquids. For perfect dispersion the sample material is fed into a closed liquid circulation system and is pumped with high power through the measuring cell between camera and LED strobe light....

The new box is now called Box 2.0. The new design is a consistent, modern further development of the original product outfit. When epT.I.P.S.® pipette tips were introduced by Eppendorf in 2002, they were already marketed in the popular reusable box. After 19 years, the epT.I.P.S. brand is now getting a new look. But since looks aren't everything, the now even safer stackability of several boxes on top of each other is also ensured....
