The cornerstone of this new offering is a truly innovative web-based configurator tool....
You’d be hard pressed to pick up a science or medical journal these days without reading something about CRISPR. Since the game-changing CRISPR-Cas9 methodology was first harnessed for genome editing seven years ago, endless possibilities have been explored by a wide range of industries. Biochemists the world over are working around the clock to test the boundaries and limitations of this innovative practice.....
New ColorSEM technology from Thermo Fisher Scientific provides scientists more complete sample information and increased productivity. Scientists, engineers and researchers can now instantly view and analyze meaningful elemental content that is differentiated by color directly from a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Thermo Scientific ColorSEM technology is the first commercial solution that includes integrated elemental analysis with unique color imaging. ...
Merck, a leading science and technology company, has announced that Susumu Kitagawa, Professor at the Institute for Integrated Cell–Material Sciences at Kyoto University, Japan, has been named the sixteenth recipient of the Emanuel Merck Lectureship. He is being recognized for his pioneering scientific work in the field of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). His fundamental contributions to the development of this innovative class of nanoporous materials could lead to new ways...
Ocean Optics has developed a range of high-powered LED light sources for fluorescence excitation and other spectroscopy measurements. The innovative optical design of the LSM LED family provides highly efficient coupling of LED light into an optical fiber, ensuring high signal output for applications across UV, Visible and Shortwave NIR wavelengths.

AMSBIO reports on how several leading European research groups have used their Lipidure® coated microplates to help culture physiologically functional, light-responsive retinal organoids. Development of in vitro models of the human retina in which to perform pharmacological and toxicological studies is an urgent area of vital research. An essential step for developing in vitro models of human retina is the ability to generate laminated....
In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal researchers from Bourgogne University showed that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using multi modal – PET/MRI - showed promising improvements in imaging capabilities. Using an MR Solutions, cryogen free, 3T scanner with a PET clip on the sequential images were found to be highly beneficial providing high spatial resolution, high sensitivity....
