Visitors to analytica 2020 can experience the laboratory of the future in a special show that is unique in the whole world: 18 partners from science and industry have joined forces to demonstrate device networking, collaborative robotics and user interaction, using the example of eight workflows from real-world applications. In the associated Forum, experts give lectures on the current state of digitization in the laboratory...
Paradigm tips administer a virtually clean sample release, guaranteeing that you’ll spend minimal time waiting for the last drop to fall from the tip. Maintain complete control, even when you’re working with smaller volumes, without compromising the accuracy of your pipetting. The innovation begins with a proprietary resin that ensures the sample will not bind to the tip so it is dispensed completely...
The UK’s National Measurement Laboratory (NML) at LGC has expanded its portfolio of reference materials to include the first ever multi-allergen reference material kit containing five common allergens (milk, egg, almond, hazelnut, walnut), traceable to the SI (International System of Units). Food allergy is a serious and growing problem, with up to 2 million people in the UK estimated to be affected....
