The clip-on PET and SPECT scanners, which can also be used as standalone scanners, and...
UC Irvine developed “Smart Labs” approach in partnership with Aircuity’s Demand Control Ventilation systems. Scientific research labs represent a huge portion of the energy demand of a university campus: in many cases, as much as two-thirds of a campus’ energy use can be attributed to research labs.While it may seem clear that labs would be a great place to start when looking to go greener and reduce energy demand, the difficulty of doing so without sacrificing safety can often pose a roadblock....
The PREP series of symposia is the longest running, most recognized international scientific conference and exposition driving the field of Preparative and Process Chromatography, Ion Exchange, Adsorption Processes and Related Separation Techniques, organized by expert scientists and engineers for the separation science practitioner! The focus of the conference is the development, design, optimization, and operation of chromatographic processes and...
At the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience 2018 (Nov 03 – 07), ZEISS presented new workflows in collaboration with Inscopix (Palo Alto, CA) where ZEISS’s Airyscan confocal imaging technology is leveraged with the Inscopix freely behaving microscopy systems.

Semiconductor quantum dots possess an array of attractive properties, including; high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY), solution processability and highly tuneable band gaps. These properties make quantum dots ideal for optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes and semiconductor lasers where they serve as emitters or in photodiodes and solar cells where they serve equally well as light absorbers. In addition, their light emission properties also make them a promising new class of fluorescent probe for biomedical fluorescence imaging...
