GranuTools now offering its expertise and extended range of instruments to characterize powders and granular materials in various conditions/geometries. It is well known that flow properties of powders are governed by the intrinsic grain properties and forces acting on and between the grains. However, what one often forgets is the dramatic influence of the conditions under which powders are processed (stress state, flow field, relative humidity, and temperature)....
Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the launch of a real-time reverse transcription (qRT) PCR-based diagnostic kit for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The CE-IVD mark is in accordance with the European Union In Vitro Diagnostic Directive 98/79/EC and is available for immediate distribution....
The common cold virus could offer some level of protection against COVID-19 infection, according to a new study. The research – published in Journal of Infectious Diseases and led by scientists at the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) – found that human rhinovirus (the virus that causes the common cold) triggers an innate immune response that seems to block SARS-CoV-2...
