Queensgate and the United Kingdom's National Metrology Institute have revealed their latest breakthrough at Euspen’s Special Interest Conference: Precision Motion Systems and Control in November. The development is a novel control system for a two-axis flexure stage with a 100 µm x 100 µm scanning range that enables high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) over large areas. The result is an HS-AFM system capable of imaging large areas with molecular-level resolution...
Choosing a film for a movie night is always a battle. Now imagine if you could pick one that provided a window into some of the most fundamental biological processes that keep us alive. For the first time ever, researchers have captured a real-time molecular movie to show how two essential cellular processes – transcription and translation – interact with each other in bacteria...
Indica Labs, the global leader in AI-powered digital pathology, announces that the Institute of Tissue Medicine and Pathology at the University of Bern, a leading university based pathology institute in Switzerland, has selected HALO AP® for the Institute’s first-in-country digital pathology deployment in the cloud powered by Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). The Institute selected Indica Labs for its ability to provide dependable, pathologist-centered software and AI in a powerful and highly flexible platform.
Biotech Fluidics reports that a major pharmaceutical customer has purchased 17 SPR-200 solvent recycler units to improve sustainable use of solvents by HPLC systems in their analytical laboratories. Externally powered, the standalone SPR-200 solvent recycler does not require an external computer thereby avoiding potential connectivity issues with user I.T systems. Compatible with most HPLC systems, the SPR-200 continuously monitors the output signal of liquid chromatography instrument detectors
The Pistoia Alliance, a global, not-for-profit alliance that advocates for greater collaboration in life sciences R&D, has announced the results of a global survey in conjunction with CCC (Copyright Clearance Center), a leader in advancing copyright, accelerating knowledge, and powering innovation, on the impact of AI and copyright legislation on pharma R&D. While 83% of life science professionals are now using generative AI in their research, there is still widespread concern about the impact of differing AI...
Researchers have developed a new multiple organ-on-chip system to help study how neurotoxins move from the gut to the brain. The model system simulated how a neurotoxin in the gut can trigger the brain cell death seen in Parkinson’s disease, in a proof-of-concept study from the Quadram Institute, University of Hull, University of Essex and at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
UK-based Concept Life Sciences (Concept) and Accelero Biostructures (Accelero) in the US have formed an industry-leading partnership which will help pharma businesses worldwide speed up drug development by up to tenfold. The collaboration accelerates the timeline for progressing from drug discovery to clinical trials through the integration of Accelero’s specialised X-ray crystallography and structural biology platforms...
PHC Corporation of North America (PHCNA), supplier of the PHCbi brand of cell preservation and growth products in North America and Latin America, will showcase a prototype of its cell expansion system LiCellGrow at Advanced Therapies Week in Dallas, Texas in January.

With the brand new VALEGRO recirculating coolers, JULABO is launching modern, powerful cooling units with natural refrigerant. The recirculating coolers have been developed with the greatest focus on user-friendliness and operational safety within a working temperature range of -20 ... +40°C. With a cooling capacity of 350 W (Valegro 350) and 500 W (Valegro 500) at 20 °C, the new recirculating coolers score with a very high performance/output in relation to their small size...
FlowChrom from TESTA Analytical is an automated non-invasive, real-time monitoring system providing a continuous digital record of your HPLC system performance. While most HPLC and UHPLC are designed to operate 24/7, it is common for issues to arise when liquid chromatography systems are left unattended. In many instances, it is then difficult to understand what the source of the operating problem was and to determine when it occurred and how many HPLC separations were affected and must therefore be repeated...
Bio-aerosols aren’t welcome in any laboratory. They can consist of bacteria, cell fragments, fungal spores or viruses, as well as byproducts of microbial metabolism. Aerosols are easily generated in various concentrations during simple routine tasks in the laboratory, such as centrifugation, pipetting or shaking. For this reason, Eppendorf has taken another detailed look at the risk of contamination during pipetting and put their filter pipette tips to the test once again...
