Scientists have teamed with farmers from rural areas of Tanzania to track dozens of herds of cattle using satellite GPS (Global Positioning System) devices, to better understand how diseases can pass from one herd to another. The study – led by the University of Glasgow and published in Scientific Reports – is an important step in understanding how to develop effective strategies for controlling a host of diseases in similar settings....

2021 marks a key milestone for anyone working in a lab. Sixty years ago, Eppendorf changed the ways of handling liquids forever by introducing the world’s first industrially manufactured piston-stroke pipette. Launched in 1961, the Eppendorf ‘Marburg Pipette’ featured the same basic elements as those found in today’s labs: a spring-loaded piston that stops precisely at a set volume level and a removable pipette tip made of plastic...
Are you plagued with poor peak shapes, low sensitivities, sample carry over and/or low recoveries for challenging compounds. Several substances are able to interact with the usual inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The adsorption on metallic surfaces typically leads to peak tailing, loss of recovery and sample carry over. Critical substances are especially metal-coordinating compounds, such as fumonisins, sphingophospholipids or organophosphates in general....
Visitor registration is now open for Lab Innovations 2021, the UK’s only trade show for the entire laboratory industry, held at the NEC, Birmingham on 3 & 4 November.

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., have confirmed the speed, accuracy and simplicity of a novel, highly sensitive testing method for COVID-19 that can be deployed at entertainment venues, airport arrival terminals, and in remote settings where clinical testing laboratories are not available. The scientists used a three way comparison study to confirm that the Exponential Amplification Reaction (EXPAR) method is just as sensitive, but faster, than both PCR and LAMP tests...
Recent work by a team of researchers at Queen’s University Belfast and University College London has reported on a newly developed strategy for the manufacture of a high drug loaded amorphous solid dispersion (HDASD) using a hot-melt extrusion (HME) based platform. Around 80% of new drug candidates that emerge are classified as poorly soluble...
The new box is now called Box 2.0. The new design is a consistent, modern further development of the original product outfit. When epT.I.P.S.® pipette tips were introduced by Eppendorf in 2002, they were already marketed in the popular reusable box. After 19 years, the epT.I.P.S. brand is now getting a new look. But since looks aren't everything, the now even safer stackability of several boxes on top of each other is also ensured....
