The increasing trend for smaller, more compact diagnostic and analytical devices for applications such as laboratory robotics, medical ‘pick-and-place’ systems and also hand-held devices brings unique challenges for component manufacturers and suppliers.
Basically, the message is “make it smaller, lighter, more compact, but with the same or improved performance”. Motors are an essential component in many of these devices so the new miniature BGA22 rare earth, permanent magnet motor (BLDC) introduced by precision motion control specialists DUNKERMOTOREN will be of interest. Measuring just 22mm in diameter, 38mm in length and weighing 0.065 kg the BGA22 is the smallest...
Bibby Scientific announced today that it has launched a Techne PCR-based method for reliable and highly specific detection of the yeast, Dekkera bruxellensis, which is a major cause of wine spoilage worldwide, causing large economic losses within the global wine industry.
Flavour-spoiling phenolic compounds released from this yeast lead to undesirable aromas, known as ‘Brett’ taints, that are normally associated with aromas of barnyard, burnt plastic, wet animal and horse-sweat. Detection of the yeast through traditional microbiological techniques can be time-consuming, costly and unreliable. In contrast, real-time or quantitative PCR-based detection methods allow for exceptionally rapid and highly...
