Scientists studying blackgrass, the UK’s most harmful weed, have detected early signs of resistance evolving to one of its main control agents, the weed killer glyphosate. Worryingly, these latest findings show that this ubiquitous farmland weed could soon become uncontrollable, as glyphosate is one of the last lines of defence against what has been described as a weed “epidemic”.....
SP Scientific’s Genevac Series 3 HT-12 Centrifugal Evaporator has been cited in a recently published paper by theNatural Products Support Group, Leidos Biomedical Research,Inc.and theFrederick National Laboratory for Cancer Researchas an important sample preparation tool in their extraction and pre-fractionation work to create a new natural product fractions library.
With the launch of a new high-resolution mass spectrometry-based workflow, biopharmaceutical scientists are no longer restricted by the complex series of assays typically required for the characterization and quality control of protein therapeutics. The Thermo Scientific HR Multi-Attribute Method (MAM)meets the demand for a single, high-resolution mass spectrometry-based workflow designed to...
The independent Eppendorf Award Jury chaired by Prof. Reinhard Jahn selected Dr. Georg Winter, Principal Investigator at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria, as the 2019 winner of the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators....
Advanced Instruments, LLC announces the launch of their new web-based Advanced QC™ Peer Group program that allows laboratories to compare their osmometer serum and urine QC to their peers’ data on a real-time and monthly basis. The Advanced QC Peer Group program was designed in collaboration with Advanced Instruments’ customers. It allows laboratories to troubleshoot issues quickly by providing instant
Micromeritics Instrument Corporation has awarded the University of Hamburg one of its 3Flex Surface Characterization Analyzers which is one of the most advanced physisorption instruments in the market.

Efficient cross city haematology working enabled in Cardiff. Medical announces the go live of the first multi-site installation of its new HELO high throughput fully automated haematology platform within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The new system is already delivering laboratory efficiencies across Cardiff in line with NHS requirements through the next generation haematology analysers installed at the University Hospital of Wales...
Preclinical image submissions came in from most of MR Solutions’ users across the world. The winners which were presented at the ISMRM conference in May were chosen by a panel of leading academics who examined images from MRI, PET or CT – or a combination of imaging modalities. The winning submission was carried out by Amsterdam PhD researcher, Gustav Strijkers. This technique was used in cardiac research to produce a high fidelity 3D tractography....
Merck and Rigaku Corp. have signed a joint development agreement to develop lab consumables based on highly innovative crystalline sponge technology. Merck and Rigaku are collaborating to develop commercially available lab solutions employing highly innovative crystalline sponge technology. Merck will develop lab consumables to determine the absolute chemical structure of substances on sub-microgram scale.....
Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the results of its first Pharma Lab Leaders Survey looking to gather insights from pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and contract research laboratories in seven countries around the world. Respondents included 650 laboratory managers, directors, and supervisors from China, Germany, India, South Korea, Switzerland, Austria, and the United States. The laboratories surveyed are involved in a range of activities from disease research to manufacturing...
Using artificial intelligence, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have succeeded in making the mass analysis of proteins from any organism significantly faster than before and almost error-free. This new approach is set to provoke a considerable change in the field of proteomics, as it can be applied in both basic and clinical research. The genome of any organism contains the blueprints for thousands of proteins which control almost all the functions of life...
Results of the largest study to date of the pathology of dementia in former footballers and rugby players have been revealed. In a study published in Acta Neuropathologica and led by the University of Glasgow in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, the researchers report that while a pathology associated with brain injury – chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – might be common in former athletes with dementia....
