Strong business opportunities exist for big pharmaceutical and generic pharmaceutical companies in Ghana and Nigeria.
This is of no surprise as the tropical climate of Africa makes the continent a hotbed for infectious diseases, particularly malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS. Outbreaks of polio, meningitis, cholera, pandemic influenza, yellow fever, measles, hepatitis and tetanus are also frequent. The rising adoption of a Western diet and sedentary lifestyle is also causing a paradigm shift in the burden of illness towards non-communicable diseases (NCDs)...
Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection method, based on AOAC Official Method 2011.18, to determine free and bound myo-inositol in infant formula and adult nutritionals.
Application Note (AN) 1083: Determination of Myo-Inositol (Free and Bound as Phosphatidylinositol) in Infant Formula and Adult Nutritionalsdemonstrates a column-switching technique used to remove strongly retained carbohydrates in the sample, thereby reducing run time. Pulsed amperometric detection with a gold on polytetrafluoroethylene disposable electrode offers high sensitivity while eliminating the need for sample derivatization and electrode polishing...
It was recently announced that the Longitude Prize 2014 will focus on the ability to “create a cost-effective, accurate, rapid and easy-to-use test for bacterial infections” to help combat the scourge of antibiotic resistant microbial infection, putting this critical and growing problem under the spotlight again.
The AdvanDx QuickFISH test, exclusively available in the UK from Alpha Laboratories Ltd. could provide a solution. QuickFISH enables a targeted, species specific, antimicrobial therapeutic strategy to be employed much sooner, by enabling species ID to be reported at the same time as the gram stain result. This is especially helpful when dealing with microorganisms that share an identical morphology when viewed under gram stain...
