When UCLA’s Dr. Araceli Espinosa-Jeffrey sent human brain cells into space, her goal was to gain a better understanding of how neural stem cells grow and develop in microgravity. That understanding is key to discovering more about the serious issues of intracranial hypertension affecting astronauts returning from space. The information may also one day be used to further cell replacement therapies...
Merck and Baylor College of Medicine have announced an extension of their ongoing collaboration to advance a manufacturing platform to fight Covid-19, designed to accelerate transition to Phase 1 clinical trials. “Vaccine manufacturing is extremely complicated, so we are collaborating on a process development approach to accelerate manufacturing of Baylor’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate...
By Professor Georgina Ellison-Hughes, Dr Rocio Martinez-Nunez and Dr Rui Ribeiro Galao, Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, King’s College London. With promises of antibody tests being rolled out in the next few days to NHS and care staff in England, and retailers told not to send home-testing kits as their accuracy is questioned, it is timely to consider what we do and don’t know about these tests....

Greyhound’s range of Syringe filters and Membrane filters provide a comprehensive range of filters, for your chosen application. The main source of particle contamination in HPLC columns originate in the sample to be analysed. Therefore, the final preparation step prior to sample injection into the HPLC instrument is to remove any small particulates from the sample by filtration...
Many technical applications depend on a reliable cooling solution. Huber Minichillers are the ideal solution for environmentally friendly and economical cooling in laboratory and industry. There are several air and water cooled models available, with cooling powers from 0.28 to 0,9 kW. Efficient energy management in all Huber chillers ensures low operating costs and a quick return on investment....
Testing for coronavirus is an essential diagnostic and research tool for monitoring and managing the current pandemic. qPCR and RT-qPCR are proving to be powerful techniques for testing labs worldwide for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. However, each step in the extremely sensitive qPCR procedure can potentially contribute to experimental error and affect the reproducibility of results...
