Porvair Sciences has developed a new range of filters for pipette tips for a leading separation science supplier who was looking to bring control of supply and manufacture of these components in house. Initially Porvair Sciences undertook testing to fully characterise (air flow, pore size, material make-up) the outsourced pipette tip filters the customer sought to replace. Then working closely with an injection moulding company who were reverse engineering the pipette tip itself...
Scientists have reported an effective and environmentally sustainable way to block the transmission of mosquito-borne dengue virus, in trials carried out in Malaysia. Using a strain of the bacteria Wolbachia, which inhibit mosquitoes from transmitting viruses to humans, researchers at the Universities of Glasgow and Melbourne and the Institute for Medical Research in Malaysia were successfully able to reduce cases of dengue at sites in Kuala Lumpur...
Rapid 3D imaging and in-depth structural analysis opens up quality monitoring and spermatozoa selection for artificial insemination in humans and animals. A key determinant for success in artificial insemination for humans and animals is the quality of the spermatozoa. However, current 2D label-free imaging methods can only detect abnormal spermatozoa with significant morphological changes or incomplete structures and are unable to provide information on their internal structure or composition....
Scientists save time and reduce costs by only ordering compounds with suitable solubility; aids screening library selection and sourcing. MolPort, the chemical sourcing experts, announces the addition of pre-competitively sourced solubility information to its comprehensive online chemical sourcing database. Its biopharma customers are able to immediately access and use the information to refine searches of commercially available screening compounds as required...

The Glasgow Precision Oncology Laboratory (GPOL) at the University of Glasgow has developed a ground-breaking new cancer test for research and clinical trials that could ultimately change the way cancer medicine is delivered. The Glasgow Cancer Tests are a suite of affordable solid tumour and blood cancer tests, developed specifically to enable patients to benefit from real-world precision medicine-based cancer treatments....
The newly designed Socorex website enables users to benefit from quality product content such as product's highlights, accessories, spare partes, related products as well as instrument comparison. A rich knowledge base provides for instant access to a large selection of documents such as sales literature, operating instructions, product videos and certificates. Furthermore, users may access everything they need in a second by using the website's powerful search engine....
Agilent Technologies, Inc. has announced that the nomination process to submit proposals to receive an Agilent-sponsored LabCentral Golden Ticket is open for interested life sciences and biotech startup companies. LabCentral, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is an independent, shared laboratory space designed as a launchpad for high-potential life sciences and biotech startups.
Ultra-high purity gases combined with BIP® technology are perfect for a wide variety of applications and in the laboratory have been proven to improve instrument performance. When used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography (GC) for example, we have carried out studies with independent third parties who have proven that switching to BIP® gases, have not only lowered detection limits and reduced baseline noise, but the reduced impurity levels of O2 and H2O have also reduced column bleed and significantly extended column life...
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, has become a member of the Pistoia Alliance, a global, not-for-profit alliance of life science companies, vendors, publishers and academic groups working to lower barriers to innovation in life science and healthcare R&D through pre-competitive collaboration. Pairing scientific expertise and laboratory operational excellence with an extensive portfolio of digital capabilities...
Vision Engineering, the leading manufacturer of high-quality visual inspection and measurement technologies, announces that it has sold over 20,000 Mantis microscope products in the last five years. The Mantis range of ergonomic eyepiece-less stereo microscopes offers superb optical performance with magnification options up to 20x, making it a perfect alternative to more traditional inspection stereo microscopes....
The goal of HPLC 2020 is to bring together scientists involved with all aspects of liquid-phase analytical separations from basic research to practice. Technologies include all types of HPLC, 2DLC and electrophoresis, micro- and nanofluidics, bead-based extractions, and coupling separations to mass spectrometry.

Lab discoveries of single mutations that increase infectiousness have quadrupled since 2015. Far more bacteria are one step away from becoming dangerous than previously thought, say the team managing the world’s only specialist database on the disease-causing genes of microbes. The scientists, led from Rothamsted Research, say there has been a sharp rise in the number of laboratory studies that show how just a single mutation can create highly infectious or ‘hypervirulent’ strains of disease-causing bacteria, fungi and water moulds...
Anima Biotech, based in Tel Aviv, Israel, is using INTEGRA’s VIAFLO 96/384 handheld electronic pipette to study protein translation in the drive to tackle undruggable targets in diseases such as fibrosis, respiratory syncytial virus, oncology and Huntington's disease.
