IDEXX has welcomed the publication of a study carried out by the Public Health Laboratory of L'Hospitalet in Barcelona, Spain, which compared the IDEXX Legiolert® test with the standard method for detection and enumeration of Legionella (ISO 11731). Comparing the methods in both potable and non-potable water samples according to the rigorous ISO 17994 protocol, the study found that Legiolert detected more positive results than ISO 11731 and was statistically more sensitive for Legionella pneumophila....
A number of analytes are able to interact with conventional inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The inert YMC-Triart metal-free (U)HPLC columns are fully biocompatible due to their PEEK lined stainless steel column bodies and the use of PEEK frits. You can achieve excellent peak shapes and reliable recoveries for critical substances such as biomolecules. The prevention of carryover makes them an ideal choice for highly sensitive LC/MS analyses....
Resolve Biosciences, the pioneer in Molecular Cartography™, and ZEISS have announced a co-development collaboration to advance spatial biology applications. The companies are working together to optimize advanced microscopy and 3D imaging solutions for subcellular spatial analysis. ZEISS microscopy technology is part of Resolve’s current Molecular Cartography service offering and will be incorporated into the commercial spatial transcriptomics system scheduled to launch later this year.
OGT™, A Sysmex Group Company, has revealed the expansion of support activities with CytoCell® University – an initiative that promises to partner with scientists to provide innovative and expert training on the basics of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). CytoCell University’s FISH training reaffirms OGT’s mission to support scientists around the globe and help customers advance genetic analysis.
To protect consumers and patients, the filling weight of finished goods and drugs must be checked gravimetrically. Uniformity of dosage unit measurements ensure that the mean weight meets the specified nominal package contents and is within permissible tolerances in order to avoid over- and underdosing. Average weight control prevents underfilling of prepacked goods...
