Researchers from the Ebisuya Group at EMBL Barcelona have used an unprecedented stem cell zoo to compare six different mammalian species and their developmental time. In humans, pregnancy lasts around nine months. In mice, only 20 days, and in rhinoceroses, as long as 17 months. Although many mammalian species go through the same stages during embryo development, the speed of development differs substantially across animals...

KG is working with the Institute for Drive Technology (IAA) at the University Aalen to develop a PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) system for AI-based status monitoring of constant temperature equipment at automotive test stations. The project has received 424,000 euros in financial support from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Tourism through the InvestBW funding program...
TESTA Analytical has published a study that demonstrates how their Solvent Line Monitor is a valuable monitoring device for safeguarding HPLC, flow chemistry or liquid dosing systems from the many problems caused by undissolved gas bubbles. Dissolved gas is known to impact the performance of peristaltic pumps. A common solution to address this problem with HPLC system, is to use a vacuum degasser on the inlet side of the pump...
SEC is a suitable method for the analysis of long chain oligonucleotides with length up to 200mer. The choice of the optimal pore size is crucial for the success of the method. In this Application Note, analyses of oligonucleotides of various lengths are described and a selection guide for columns for different DNA is discussed - a practical addition to your local application database...

On Monday 27 June, ZEISS presented two research awards to a total of four scientists in ceremonial style. Prof. Dr. Immanuel Bloch was the recipient of the ZEISS Research Award, while Dr. Simon Baier, Dr. Arindam Ghosh and Dr. Dasha Nelidova all received the Carl Zeiss Award for Young Researchers. Through presenting such awards, the company can commend outstanding research in optics and photonics...
The hot topic of digital integration was explored in a recent webinar by Autoscribe Informatics. Interfacing with laboratory instruments and external corporate systems has become an essential part of connecting laboratories in the modern world. The tight labor market, coupled with the need to reduce costs, has formed a perfect storm, driving laboratories to seek new solutions to improve their efficiency...
Waters Corporation has announced a multi-year research collaboration with Princeton University that will enable scientists, faculty, and students to work together to bring their diverse skills and backgrounds to solve complex challenges in biochemistry and materials science. Under the new agreement, the Waters-Princeton collaboration will bring together academic and industry researchers to tap into knowledge and expertise from various scientific domains and disciplines to identify and solve problems that matter...
Scientists studying gene activity data of the early human embryo have discovered an overlooked type of cell which self-destructs within days of forming, as part of a quality control process to protect the developing foetus. The findings give insights on what happens at the very first stages of life after fertilisation which could in the future help improve IVF or regenerative medicine treatments...
Growth media preparation is the cornerstone of any microbiology lab. Not having the media you need when you need it—because someone forgot to start a batch or one failed—creates a log jam that knocks everything off schedule for days. This is especially the case in food safety, monitoring, and quality assurance, where having the right media ready on time can make or break your safety testing workflow.
This year, the Hamburg based life sciences company Eppendorf SE is awarding its prestigious research prize for the 28th time.

Reactant concentrations can be easily monitored and adjusted by simply controlling the input/output flow rates into/out of the reactor, which gives chemists greater accuracy when carrying out complex reactions. The stirring of solutions within the reactor also ensures that reactants remain evenly mixed, resulting in consistent products across different batches. Furthermore, since reactions occur in real time with CSTRs, their residence times are much shorter compared to batch processing methods...
