The Universal Cutting Mills PULVERISETTE 19 from FRITSCH are ideal for comminution of dry, soft to hard, tough to brittle, fibrous as well as temperature-sensitive materials. Due to the variable speed adjustment between 300-3000 rpm, a fast and effective fine comminution is possible. On the other hand, with the low-speed Universal Cutting Mill with 50-700 rpm, extremely powerful comminution with really low thermal load is achieved...

Pharmacopoeias are collections of recognized and binding quality regulations that specify, among other things, test requirements and methods for the analysis of drugs. Both the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) contain specific chapters that deal with the use of laboratory balances. The chapters emphasize the criticality of weighing samples accurately in pharmaceutical analytical processes...
Testing laboratories worldwide are challenged by the explosion in sample test numbers where they need to reliably track suspected COVID-19 patient swabs to 2D-coded tubes and then through to racks of 96 tubes. For this task a fast scanner that takes and stores high quality images is the preferred solution for establishing a traceable workflow of scanned patient swab tubes through to RT-PCR ready 2D-coded tube samples....
A unique type of tiny antibody produced by llamas could provide a new frontline treatment against Covid-19 that can be taken by patients as a simple nasal spray. Research led by scientists at the Rosalind Franklin Institute has shown that nanobodies – a smaller, simple form of antibody generated by llamas and camels – can effectively target the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19....
With the emergence of quality by design in the pharmaceutical industry, it becomes imperative to gain a deeper mechanistic understanding of factors impacting the flow of a formulation into tableting dies. Many flow characterization techniques exist but only a few can mimic the die filling process successfully. One of the challenges in mimicking the die filling process is understanding the rheological powder behaviour and the differences in flow field in the feeding frame...
Porvair Sciences has installed new automated precision die-cutting equipment that has enabled a five-fold increase in its production capacity for porous plastic components. This major investment by the company is in response to a significant rise in demand from customers for precision components made from its high performance Vyon® porous plastics. Installed in Porvair's cGMP compliant cleanroom production facility the new equipment is able to produce porous plastic components...
Multi-enzyme analysis can now be achieved through a single, fully-automated enzyme analyzer, benefitting industrial enzyme manufacturers and enzyme users in the food, beverage, biopharmaceutical, fuel ethanol and chemical, and solid waste management industries. The new Thermo Scientific Gallery Enzyme Master and Thermo Scientific Gallery Plus Enzyme Master analyzers are the first automated discrete analyzers designed specifically for enzyme assay applications....
There has arguably never been greater public interest in science with conversations about the latest research into issues such as climate change and coronavirus dominating in the media and in pubs across the UK. Moreover, recent research by the London School of Economics has demonstrated “clear evidence that scientific and medical experts are enjoying a surge in public support” concluding that “pandemic-era public opinion is a success story for science’s status amidst this crisis.”
