There is a lot in common between science and art. Both require creative thinking, innovation, experimentation and striking that fine balance between rational and imaginative thinking. But what happens when the two professions come together to create a piece of art that depicts the beauty of science? We paired research scientists with artists from around the world, each exhibiting their own incredibly unique and distinctive artistic styles....
The new Eppendorf Conical Tube SnapTec 50 offers all the advantages of classic conical tubes 50 mL. The decisive, innovative detail is the SnapTec closure. A snap-on lid that can be opened and closed with one hand and is firmly attached to the vessel so that it does not come into contact with the laboratory bench. The risk of cross-contamination is reduced and confusion with other lids is eliminated....
VectorBuilder Inc., a global leader in vector design, optimization and GMP manufacturing, and Landau Biotechnology Co., a world leader in developing nonhuman primate (NHP) models for clinical research applications, have signed a strategic partnership that will establish the world’s first primate gene therapy R&D center.

Extrel CMS, the experienced expert in quadrupole mass spectrometry for gas and ion analysis, has launched a new power supply, bringing high-quality performance to more vacuum research systems than ever before. The 440khz QPS offers a wider capacitance range compared to previous models, so it easily adapts to a broader range of quadrupole mass filters, octupole and hexapole ion guides, collision cells, and other RF devices – including non-Extrel products and custom-built, highly specialized vacuum systems...
saferdestruct24 the new Controlled Drug Destruction Kit from Safer Options will give you complete confidence in your controlled drug disposal procedures, even in high-risk environments. These new kits are an innovative and unique solution helping hospitals, pharmacies, hospices, care homes and other healthcare providers to safely manage waste medicines and comply with legislation more easily and effectively....
SCION Instruments has recently published its latest Application Note “Analysis of Fusel Alcohols Using HT3 Headspace Sampling”. Fusel alcohols are a common by-product of the fermentation process, but abnormal quantities or types can indicate alcoholic beverage adulteration. Method SSD: TM:200 is a direct injection method for testing these alcohols. The method states that Non-Beverage Alcohol (NBA) products, not miscible with water, cannot be analyzed by this method....
SP Industries (SP) announces the launch of its new SP Genevac EZ-2 4.0 Benchtop Evaporator series for the fast, safe and environmentally-friendly removal of all commonly used solvents and acids. Very versatile, it is capable of drying, concentrating, lyophilizing – to a ‘fluffy’ powder - and even producing crystals! The new EZ-2 4.0 centrifugal evaporator makes evaporation effortless, even for the less experienced user....
Brooks Automation, Inc. and Cleveland Clinic have opened a new 22,000-square-foot biospecimen sample management and repository facility on Cleveland Clinic’s main campus. The two-story biorepository is managed by Azenta Life Sciences, Brooks' recently re-branded life sciences division, and includes ultra-cold and cryogenic storage for researchers at Cleveland Clinic and other institutions....
Healthcare professionals, and those working in clinical research, can now benefit from a new range of fully compliant and sustainable refrigerators designed specifically for the cold storage of blood and blood-related products and samples. The Thermo Scientific TSB Series of blood bank refrigerators provides best-in-class quality, while supporting laboratories’ sustainability goals...
Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal has officially opened the Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery and toured the centre to learn more about its work to overcome cancer’s ability to evolve and become resistant to treatment. Scientists at the pioneering centre, which is on the Sutton site of The Institute of Cancer Research, London, aim to discover new types of treatment that could allow cancer to be controlled in the long term, and ultimately cured...
Porvair Sciences announce a new range of fast to apply and highly effective microplate adhesive seals for labs that are short on time and may not have access to automated sealing instruments.

They are developing novel and sustainable strategies for using the growing toolbox of NADH-dependent redox biocatalysts in chemical synthesis...
Scientists have developed a new machine learning method that can accurately predict which animal virusescould go on to infect humans in the future, using only information encoded in the viral genome. Most emerging infectious diseases of humans are caused by ‘zoonotic’ viruses that originate from other animal species. However, of the many millions of viruses that circulate in animals, only a few are likely able to infect humans....
