The main challenge in biomaterials is to predict how a material will react when implanted into the human body and how it will interact with tissues, fluids, and other biomedical materials. For accurate prognoses, the materials’ behavior needs to be investigated in conditions that are as close to the human body as possible. Anton Paar offers a range of high-precision analytical instruments....
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), also known as E-type delayed fluorescence, was first observed in 1924 by Francis Perrin.1,2 In 2012 it received a resurgence in attention, and exposure to a wider audience, when Professor Chihaya Adachi and colleagues at Kyushu University used the TADF mechanism to harvest triplet excitons in organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and create a new type....

The search for new drugs to combat diseases more effectively could be revolutionised through a new £30 million electron microscopy project. Experts would be able to see, for the first time, how a particular drug works within a patient at a cellular level or the molecular processes set in motion by a genetic mutation. The technology aims to create 3D images of cells at very high resolution...
In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal researchers from Bourgogne University showed that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using multi modal – PET/MRI - showed promising improvements in imaging capabilities. Using an MR Solutions, cryogen free, 3T scanner with a PET clip on the sequential images were found to be highly beneficial...
Kanazawa University researchers use high-speed microscopy to investigate native structure and conformational dynamics of hemagglutinin in influenza A. The influenza A viruses, which have instigated deadly pandemics in the past, still remain a major global public health problem until today. Molecules known as virulence factors are produced by bacteria, viruses, and fungi to help them to infect host cells....

BioCity, a pioneering life science incubator and business collective, today announced investment in Deep Branch Biotechnology, a Nottingham-based carbon recycling start-up, developing technology that transforms polluters into producers. Unlike traditional carbon storage technology that simply collects and stores carbon dioxide, Deep Branch’s carbon recycling solution converts carbon dioxide....
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) has granted accreditation to Malvern-based Validair Monitoring Solutions Limited (VMSL) for Laboratory Calibration services that comply with ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The accreditation is granted with immediate effect following a detailed assessment by UKAS. As a recognised standard,ISO17025 specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests or calibrations....
Discovery Park, a thriving high-quality science park playing a key role in the South East of England’s life sciences community,and MedCity, which supports and grows the world-leading life sciences ecosystem of the Greater South East of England, are pleased to announce that they are partnering on the high-profile Angels in Med City programme....
A major milestone on its strategic mission to lead in sepsis diagnostics, Beckman Coulter has announced that its Early Sepsis Indicator has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Sepsis is a global healthcare crisis that affects more than 30 million people worldwide.1 The Early Sepsis Indicator is a first-of-its-kind, hematology-based cellular...
BioTek’s Synergy™ Neo2 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader offers even more powerful performance and assay flexibility for screening and core laboratories with an optional TRF laser.
