The Videometerlab4 Multispectral Imaging System from Analytik now makes it possible to scan crop samples for Fusarium infection in under 10 seconds. The analytical methodology employed does not require traditional time-consuming sample preparation and eliminates the need for chemicals and costly consumables. Fusarium is a fungal disease which commonly affects wheat, barley, oats, triticale and grasses as seeds, seedlings and adult plants. The range of symptoms caused by...
Both companies are playing a key role in making scientific research reproducible and more transparent. Ripeta is developing a "credit report" for scientific publications to assess and help improve the transparency needed to effectively communicate research, while Gigantum is an emerging innovator in the area of data science platforms, supporting large-scale, data-oriented scientific research. Daniel Hook, CEO of Digital Science, said: "Reproducibility of research is one of the critical topics of modern times....
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has announced the official opening of its Customer Solution Center in Delhi, India. In collaboration with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the new Food Safety Customer Solution Center will focus on meeting and exceeding the demands of scientists in food and beverage laboratories by developing critical workflows and integrated solutions that help build food safety capacity in India....
Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, has announced its G:BOX Chemi XX6 multi-application imager is being utilised by scientists at a major London university to speed up analysis of proteins, DNA and cells associated with breast and a range of other cancer types. Scientists at the university are using a G:BOX Chemi XX6 multi-application imager to rapidly detect changes in DNA and protein expressed in human breast and other cancer tissues...
The new spin-out has been founded to commercialise TTP’s proprietary Vortex-Actuated Cell Sorting (VACS) technology, and fast-track development of a first commercial product, Highway 1™. TTP has invested £1.7m ($2.2m) in the spin-out, in addition to over £2m development funding to date.

GoodCat Analytical, LLC (GCA Laboratories) is based in Naples, FL, and is the first cannabis testing laboratory accredited by A2LA in the state. “I can’t say enough about each of our staff members efforts to develop and validate each analytical method,” said Jimmy Dodsworth, Chief Science Officer at GoodCat Analytical. “The level of quality for these internally developed tests is amazing considering we started from scratch.”...
USP<645> describes conductivity as key parameter for measuring the purity of ultrapure water and water for injection. Compliance with USP<645> is key for manufacturers from the pharmaceutical industry. However, following the three stage test procedure defined by the standard can be a challenge, particularly if the testing is performed manually. A dedicated Metrohm system provides a fully automated solution to this challenge reducing the risk of error while increasing productivity....
Testa Analytical Solutions e.K reports on how a BI-200SM light scattering goniometer system with autocorrelator has helped researchers at a prestigious government laboratory to solve the enigma of why aqueous molybdenum solutions are blue.

Cannabis farmers in the United States may have a serious chemical problem to contend with–pesticides. Right now, there aren't any federal regulations on pesticide use in cannabis farming, and laws and use can vary widely by state. Some groups are calling for explicit restriction and regulation of pesticides used by commercial growing operations. Marijuana still isn't fully legal at the federal level, and it's possible pesticide regulations won't be added until these laws are amended....
SP Scientific’s Genevac Series 3 HT Centrifugal Evaporator is widely proven to provide highly effective drying of samples previously stored in Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO). Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an important polar aprotic solvent that dissolves both polar and non-polar compounds and is miscible in a broad range of organic solvents as well as water. Because of these properties it is widely used as a universal sample storage solvent. However...
Myeloid immune cells kill cancer cells by eating them but cancer cells prevent this from happening by giving out a 'do not eat me' signal. Led by immunologists Ton Schumacher (Netherlands Cancer Institute and Oncode) and Ferenc Scheeren (Leiden University Medical Center), researchers from various research institutes have discovered a new method to inhibit the 'don’t eat me' signal, and have therefore found a new target for immunotherapy...
