Uniqsis reports on how its Flow-UV™ inline UV-Visible spectrometer sets a new benchmark for real-time dispersion and nanoparticle distribution and agglomeration experiments. Designed for use with almost any commercially available flow chemistry system, Flow-UV™ allows dispersion experiments to be monitored in real time so that product collection can be controlled...
The search for new drugs to combat diseases more effectively could be revolutionised through a new £30 million electron microscopy project. Experts would be able to see, for the first time, how a particular drug works within a patient at a cellular level or the molecular processes set in motion by a genetic mutation. The technology aims to create 3D images of cells at very high resolution...
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...
Kanazawa University researchers use high-speed microscopy to investigate native structure and conformational dynamics of hemagglutinin in influenza A. The influenza A viruses, which have instigated deadly pandemics in the past, still remain a major global public health problem until today. Molecules known as virulence factors are produced by bacteria, viruses, and fungi to help them to infect host cells....
Sygnature Discovery has today announced a collaboration with SilcsBio, a scientific software company focused on high-throughput fully atomistic simulations of protein targets and protein-ligand structures. SilcsBio has provided Sygnature with access to its SILCS (Site Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation) and SSFEP (Single Step Free Energy Perturbation) software.
BioCity, a pioneering life science incubator and business collective, today announced investment in Deep Branch Biotechnology, a Nottingham-based carbon recycling start-up, developing technology that transforms polluters into producers. Unlike traditional carbon storage technology that simply collects and stores carbon dioxide, Deep Branch’s carbon recycling solution converts carbon dioxide....
Discovery Park, a thriving high-quality science park playing a key role in the South East of England’s life sciences community,and MedCity, which supports and grows the world-leading life sciences ecosystem of the Greater South East of England, are pleased to announce that they are partnering on the high-profile Angels in Med City programme....
A major milestone on its strategic mission to lead in sepsis diagnostics, Beckman Coulter has announced that its Early Sepsis Indicator has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Sepsis is a global healthcare crisis that affects more than 30 million people worldwide.1 The Early Sepsis Indicator is a first-of-its-kind, hematology-based cellular...
Research has revealed that a new blood test is able to detect disease relapse up to two years earlier than imaging in patients with early-stage breast cancer. The research, carried out by the University of Leicester and Imperial College London and funded by Cancer Research UK, showed that the blood test was able to detect 89 per cent of all relapses, on average 8.9 months quicker than imaging...
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is once again proudly partnering with the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Foundation to support young researchers and promote scientific progress. IDT is sponsoring theiGEM competition 2019 as a platinum sponsor for the sixth consecutive year. In order to make DNA synthesis accessible to all, the company will...
Chromatography is one of the most popular methods to test whether cannabis is safe for use or not. This has become an important part of the cannabis industry and the many new regulations that come with it. To ensure the health and well-being of consumers, chromatography is undergoing a major overhaul. The cannabis industry is growing exponentially thanks to the legalization...
Discover how using a digital hydrometer will make your density measurements easier and faster, no matter whether you are a craft brewer or wine-maker, or responsible for checking the jet fuel at the airport or the fuel at the storage tank. Enter a new and more convenient world. The free webinar will introduce you to the advantages of U-tube density...
