AMSBIO has further expanded its product range to help in the fight against COVID-19 with the introduction of a new range of aptamers targeting SARS-CoV-2 proteins to aid development of new kits and assays. Aptamers are small single-stranded RNA or DNA oligonucleotides that fold in a three-dimensional conformation allowing them to bind specifically to a target. This target can be an organic molecule, free or carried in cells or tissues, or inorganic components, such as metal ions....
The new HK Series Differential Refractometer from Testa Analytical Solutions e.K sets a benchmark for precise determination of specific refractive index increment (dn/dc) - an important parameter for polymer and protein molecular weight determination using light scattering techniques. The specific refractive index increment (dn/dc) is one of the most underestimated parameters in material science...
Scientists used artificial intelligence-enhanced tools to successfully propose a new combination of drugs for use against an incurable childhood brain cancer. The approach, which is designed to expand researchers’ capabilities using AI, allowed the scientists to explore ideas on how to target children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) who have mutations in a gene called ACVR1....
Hamilton Company and Rhinostics, an early-stage Harvard University spin-out company, are combining their respective strengths to improve the speed and quality of nasal and nasopharyngeal sample workflows from collection to processing while also reducing the need for active labor involvement. This sample type is widely used to detect antibodies and antigens in relation to the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and many other pathogens...
The Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators, endowed with 20,000 EUR, is granted annually to an early career scientist in Europe for outstanding contributions to biomedical research. It has been awarded, in partnership with Nature, since 1995. Researchers in Europe up to 35 years with an advanced degree in the field of biomedical research can apply online between October 1, 2021, and January 15, 2022....
Lab Innovations has relaunched Lab Connect, an online networking portal to help exhibitors and visitors have a productive and efficient time at the show after so long apart during the coronavirus pandemic. The platform proved to be a success at 2019’s show, with exhibitors confirming 441 meetings using Lab Connect at an average order value of £101,000 per meeting, and it is set to play a crucial role again this year as we return to face-to-face meetings....
Cell culture laboratories working with CO2 incubators and water baths can now benefit from a new product designed to help safeguard incubators from water-borne contaminants, saving scientists time and labor while reducing the need for hazardous chemical solutions.

Why is the Delta variant so virulent ? Why did it surpass the Beta variant so quickly? An innovation by a GSA-University of Glasgow Masters graduate is set to help the public understand why certain variants dominate and have the impact they do. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has focussed everyone’s attention on the hidden world of viruses. The emergence of new variants such as Beta and Delta, affects us all: some variants spread more quickly and some are less affected by vaccines. But why?
A new study has revealed key insights into the natural human antiviral defences against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The research, published in the journal Science and led by a team of scientists at the MRC-University of GlasgowCentre for Virus Research, sheds new light on why some people are naturally more resistant to serious SARS-CoV-2 infection – and how, in the future, the coronavirus might overcome this resistance....
