Fume hoods must pass EN 14175 testing every year, and this includes smoke testing and inflow velocity testing. Therefore, finding ways to ensure that the latest hoods have minimal environmental impact while also protecting employees to the required level is key. Here, TION look at some of the ways that manufacturers are achieving this goal...
Eppendorf is working with new collaboration partners to integrate VisioNize® Lab Suite with their digital products to provide live data in the correct context. This is an enormous advantage for lab users, because it simplifies the administrative work significantly, frees up work capacity and thus help avoid using multiple siloed software tools...
AMSBIO has published an interview with Professor Marius Wernig from Stanford University, Pathology Stem Cell Institute that discusses what could be the world’s first widely applicable curative treatment for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). This rare genetic disease causes chronic and incredibly painful skin wounds that often lead to an aggressive form of skin cancer and eventual death...
Evident, a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympus Corporation, announced its fourth Global Image of the Year Scientific Light Microscopy Award is now open for entries through Feb. 28, 2023.

For the first time, the contest welcomes materials science images in addition to life science images to show the versatility of the art of science...
ZEISS experts Dr. Thomas Kalkbrenner, Dr. Jörg Siebenmorgen and Ralf Wolleschensky have been nominated for the 2022 German Future Prize. Their project: the innovative microscope ZEISS Lattice Lightsheet 7 for the gentle 3D imaging of living cells. By combining imaging that protects samples with high resolution, the system allows researchers to observe subcellular dynamics in 3D over hours and days, which was not previously possible with other microscopy technologies....
McCrone Microscopes & Accessories will present a range of Linkam’s leading temperature and environment-controlled stages at booth #1134, AMS 2022. The Linkam Modular Force Stage (MFS) is designed to gain a better understanding of a material’s behaviour under different temperature, mechanical stress and environmental conditions. The system offers advanced sensitivity, high resolution and a modular concept for customised experiment design and control...
The Chairmen and Organizers of the 51st International Symposium on High-Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques (HPLC 2023) are delighted to announce the conference dates and details for the upcoming 2023 edition of the HPLC symposium series. Since its first edition in 1973, the HPLC symposium series has established itself as the world’s leading scientific conference on high-performance liquid phase separations and related techniques...
Jacobs was selected as full lifecycle delivery partner to support infrastructure renewal projects at various facilities run by the U.K.’s government owned, but operationally independent, National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). NNL estimates the contract value at $12 million (£10 million) and the initial contract term is one year with options for three additional one-year extensions. Scope includes design, build and refurbishment work at the Windscale and Central Laboratories at Sellafield in Cumbria...
The next competition is officially open at INTEGRA Biosciences. The company is giving away a comprehensive ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot package that includes a D-ONE single channel pipetting module. The innovative ASSIS PLUS pipetting robot enables elegant automation of repetitive tasks to increase throughput in your lab...
This webcast is targeted at laboratories who are planning to implement a new LIMS, either for the first time or as a replacement for an aging LIMS that is no longer meeting the organization's business needs. Where do you start and what evaluation factors are most important? We will answer those questions as well as providing advice that will help ensure you make the right LIMS selection...
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a global leader in laboratory automation and innovation, announces its continuing commitment to the next generation of researchers and scientists with a call for registrations for its SPRI Grants for Genomic Research. Reinforcing its dedication to providing streamlined genomic workflow solutions, the company will award up to eight grants in 2022...
The Franklin is the national institute developing disruptive new technologies designed to tackle major challenges in health and life sciences. The competition aims to make these technologies – and the expertise of Franklin scientists – available to a small company in the UK to help them overcome a specific research challenge. The winning company will take part in a 12-week residency starting in April 2023, working with Franklin scientists to use technologies at the cutting edge of the field...
Aseptic Process solutions specialist Telstar will be expanding its facilities with the construction of three additional modules, adjacent to the building where the headquarters are currently located. The result will be a modern industrial site based on a total floor area of 16,000 m2, which will accommodate all the current activity of the company in Catalonia. A total of 70% of the space will be intended for production plants...

Researchers at the Australian National Phenome Centre (ANPC) at Murdoch University have successfully detected and quantified newly discovered biomarkers of SARS-CoV-2 acute infections and of ‘Long COVID’. They used a benchtop Fourier Transform-nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) spectrometer with a permanent magnet, thereby lowering the barrier to clinical translation of this epidemiological and diagnostic research technology...
The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on the dangers of misinformation in the science industry. This phenomenon has been amplified with the popularity of forums and platforms that act as news distribution networks without a filter or editorial oversight. Here Aleiya Lonsdale, Head of Event at the largest laboratory event in the UK, Lab Innovations 2022, discusses how the lab community has tried to hold back against the tide of scientific misinformation.
The Institute of Cancer Research, London, has expressed disappointment that NICE has confirmed its decision not to recommend olaparib for previously treated, hormone-relapsed metastatic prostate cancer. NICE’s decision means that men in England and Wales with prostate cancer will miss out on a highly innovative treatment option. It puts the NHS in England and Wales out of step with Scotland, where olaparib was approved last year for the treatment of prostate cancers with faulty DNA repair genes...
Plant-derived ring peptide and its variants show anti-tumor activity against lymphoma cells. Oncological study with participation of KL Krems. An Austrian study demonstrates an anti-tumor effect of certain nature-derived cyclic peptides. The study, which has now been published internationally, not only demonstrates the inhibition of cell division by these peptides, but even their ability to cause cell death of cancer cells...
