The new EZ-2 4.0 centrifugal evaporator makes evaporation effortless, even for the less experienced user....
UK-based HydRegen are using a DrySyn OCTO reaction station from Asynt to help develop a next generation biocatalyst system that enables cleaner, safer, and more efficient chemical manufacture. HydRegen spun-out from the Vincent Group in the Dept. of Chemistry at the University of Oxford in March 2021. They are developing novel and sustainable strategies for using the growing toolbox of NADH-dependent redox biocatalysts in chemical synthesis...
Welsh Minister for Economy, Vaughan Gething MS, officially opened Markes International’s new headquarters in Bridgend on Thursday 23 September. The specialist analytical instrumentation manufacturer had moved its entire Welsh operations in March this year, relocating from Llantrisant to a newly refurbished site in Bridgend which is twice as large as its former premises....
TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K. announce that their HK Series Differential Refractive Index (DRI) detector is being used to provide accurate and reliable measurement of the absolute concentration and total mass of protein in a sample.

Porvair Sciences has introduced a new and improved version of its Microlute® PLR phospholipid removal microplate designed to enhance the flow of samples through a proprietary filter to maximise the recovery of analytes with unmatched reproducibility. Benefiting from the naturally hydrophobic PFTE filter - the new second generation Microlute® PLR plate can be manufactured faster and more reproducibly than ever before....
The new HK Series Differential Refractometer from Testa Analytical Solutions e.K sets a benchmark for precise determination of specific refractive index increment (dn/dc) - an important parameter for polymer and protein molecular weight determination using light scattering techniques. The specific refractive index increment (dn/dc) is one of the most underestimated parameters in material science...
Thermo Scientific Delta Q IRMS is the first product developed under ground-breaking IsoFootprint initiative to tackle CO? emissions for more sustainable science. The launch of the world’s first net zero mass spectrometer (MS) will make it easier than ever for scientists working across geoscience, food and beverage, environmental science and forensics to practice science sustainably....
The new line of products, available exclusively in the UK and Ireland from SLS gives laboratories control over their gas and LN2 supplies and promotes sustainability by eliminating the need for cross-country transportation of gas cannisters and Dewar flasks. On-site generation of gas and LN2 has gained popularity in recent years, as more companies have decided to free themselves from having to rely on external suppliers....
