For high-resolution imaging, immersion media between the sample and objective is required. This can be a challenge for some experiments using water as immersion media. One application of immersion media might not be sufficient as the sample moves to different locations and water evaporates over long periods of time. Manual addition risks loss of data points, microscope damage, and is tedious and inefficient...

Global warming is a challenge for humanity - Sharm el-Sheikh has just reminded us of this again. But in addition to abstract global issues of the UN, small, personal steps can also help. Discussions about sustainability are primarily about energy consumption. Laboratory equipment is no exception. Even the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient ultra-low temperature freezers still require a significant amount of energy to maintain extremely low temperatures of -80 °C 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for years...

Nanopositioning expert, Queensgate, has announced the launch of the Nano Scan OP800 piezo objective scanner.?Its unique mechanical design together with integral capacitive feedback sensors offer users market-leading positioning accuracy, while its stiff construction allows the standard selectable tuning pre-sets to support a range of objectives from 150?g to 500?g. This makes it highly versatile for use in a wide range of applications in life sciences and industry...
Most single-cell technologies today require cells to be manipulated one way or another, either by being frozen, fixed, or physically squeezed into microchannels or nanowells. Those requirements compromise the transcriptome with the cell altering gene expression in response and drifting further away from the physiological conditions. But novel solutions such as Asteria™ now enable fresh cells to be processed to preserve their transcriptome and thus the accuracy of the single-cell data...
Being committed to continued advances in improving human health, SCHOTT has opened a new facility in Phoenix, Arizona, to expand the development and manufacturing of diagnostics and life science consumables.
