Trauma is the main cause of premature death internationally, resulting in more deaths in people under 40 years of age than all other causes combined. Even trauma victims that are taken to hospital have a high mortality rate, in part due to massive systemic inflammatory reactions leading to the dysfunction of organs that were not initially injured. A team at Oslo University Hospital in Norway has been investigating the role of the protein HMGB1...

Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) are excited to announce plans to move to a new, state-of-the-art National Distribution Centre based on the Fairham Business Park development in Clifton, Nottingham. The new multi-million-pound facility, is three times bigger than the current SLS site and will ensure the company’s plans for continued growth can be achieved for many years to come. Once the building is complete, SLS will invest a further £3.5m for an extensive “fit out” process...
IDEXX, the global leader in rapid microbiology testing for water, has acquired Tecta-PDS, an innovative Canadian company that has introduced automation to water microbiology testing for parameters including E. coli and total coliforms. The acquisition allows IDEXX to expand its range of water microbiology testing options for both laboratory-based and in-field testing...
One of the many benefits of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is that all laboratory data is captured in one place. This allows laboratories to easily extract Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and detailed management statistics from the data, providing a rich source of information to optimize operations and eliminate wastage. Yet few laboratories take maximum advantage of this capability...
Lab equipment manufacturer Starlab, which is headquarted in Hamburg, has been nominated for ‘Sustainable Laboratory Product of the Year’ in the annual Scientists’ Choice Awards, for its TipOne® Sterile Refill System.
