An international team of scientists from The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Germany employed state-of-the-art biochemical and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) methods to study the spliceosome in intricate detail and answer long standing questions about how it works. The spliceosome operates like a nanobot, processing RNA – genetic instructions copied from DNA – in a key step to allow the building of complex proteins...
Biotech Fluidics announce DEGASi Prep+ - the world’s first in-line membrane degasser ready to use at 150 mL/minute with aggressive media and organic solvents. Traditionally, efficient degasification of high throughput liquid applications including process chromatography, dissolution testing, clinical chemistry and dispensing has been a tough challenge. Until now, that is. Employing a superior Systec® DST vacuum pump, and proprietary Systec AF membrane technology, the DEGASI Prep+ is able to reliably provide effective degasification at ultra-high flow rates.
At the forefront of flow reactor design, FlowSyn™ from Uniqsis sets the standard for automated optimisation of heterogeneous catalysis reactions. The use of solid supported reagents, catalysts and scavengers in flow reactor systems offers significant benefits over conventional batch heterogeneous catalysis techniques. Their use often avoids the need for downstream product purification and leads to enhanced reaction rates and higher overall efficiency due to the large excess of catalyst...

A new method of controlling the shape of tiny particles about one tenth of the width of human hair could make the technology that powers our daily lives more stable and more efficient, scientists claim. The process, which transforms the structure of microscopic semiconductor materials known as quantum dots, provides industry with opportunities to optimise optoelectronics, energy harvesting, photonics, and biomedical imaging technologies, according to the Cardiff University-led team...
Pantea Razzaghi, Head of Design at Automata explains why scientists are turning to robotics automation tools to ‘do more with less’ and make more effective use of space – increasing throughput and accuracy with the same lab footprint as before. Laboratory design plays an important role in making lab spaces more accessible and efficient for scientists. This is vital as the UK strives to become a life science leader, of a sector aiming to increase productivity, have the flexibility to scale, and bring products to market at pace...
ACHEMA 2024, the World Forum for Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering and Biotechnology and the world’s leading show for the process industries, will take place in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, from 10 to 14 June 2024.
