Introducing Priorclave double-stack, research-grade laboratory autoclave to a laboratory enables them, for a given space, to increase, significantly the sterilizing load throughput of the same make-up. Alternatively, they can run two different sterilising programmes simultaneously for loads requiring different process settings. This latest range of front-loading stackable autoclaves were designed and are built at the company’s dedicated autoclave UK manufacturing facility....
The Maulide Group at the University of Vienna (Austria) describe how a devastating water leak in a nearby chemistry laboratory prompted them to search for alternative, water-free, options to Liebig condensers for refluxing. The group teamed up with Green Labs Austria to see if they could provide and share a more sustainable solution to water cooled refluxing in the lab....
The moisture determination of liquid soap is essential to ensure a product of the highest quality. If the moisture content is too high or too low, this can result in a low quality product and wastage can occur. In this application note we determine the moisture of liquid soap using Precisa’s XM60/EM120 Halogen moisture analyser...

Leading Drug Discovery Contract Research Organisation Sygnature Discovery has announced the set-up of a state-of-the-art Early Candidate Developability Screening Group. Located at its headquarters in Nottingham, UK, the new service line will expand on the company’s offerings to customers by bridging into formal preclinical drug development and paving the way for clinical trials...
The state-of-the-art Thermo Scientific TSX Series Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Freezers have been fully upgraded to include additional functionality to provide research, pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical, biorepository and industrial laboratories with safeguards to deliver environmentally sustainable protection of materials, such as vaccines, cell culture media, biologics and reagents...
Scientists have identified a new class of targeted cancer drugs that offer the potential to treat patients whose tumours have faulty copies of the BRCA cancer genes. The drugs, known as POLQ inhibitors, specifically kill cancer cells with mutations in the BRCA genes while leaving healthy cells unharmed. And crucially, they can kill cancer cells that have become resistant to PARP inhibitors – an existing treatment for patients with BRCA mutations....
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the worldwide search for an effective treatment is still ongoing. Remdesivir and GS-441524 are antiviral drugs that have been examined for the treatment of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Remdesivir is a nucleotide analogue inhibitor that can inhibit the replication of animal and human coronaviruses...
FreeLIMS announces the release of a secure, configurable LIMS for agriculture and farming, available at no charge, for agriculture testing laboratories across the globe. It enables agriculture testing laboratories to manage data, improve data quality by reducing manual errors, deliver accurate and quick test results, and improve workflow standardization with ease. FreeLIMS also enables agriculture laboratories to overcome day-to-day challenges, such as managing and tracking samples...
To address the weighing needs of food, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical industry customers who seek advanced durability, along with reliable precision, OHAUS has launched the new line of Defender 6000 Extreme Washdown Bench Scales.

Since inception, LCC have enhanced their expertise enabling them to provide leading scientific organisations with access to chirally-pure compounds that play their part in small molecule drug discovery....
Whilst commonly used air displacement pipettes are highly accurate for most pipetting applications, their performance is adversely affected by the physical properties of the solutions handled, such as viscosity, volatility, surface tension and temperature. However, positive displacement pipettes like Gilson's ergonomic MICROMAN® E and Capillary Pistons (CPs) work differently, and volume delivery is unaffected by the nature of the sample...
