Pantea Razzaghi, Head of Design at Automata explains why scientists are turning to robotics automation tools to ‘do more with less’ and make more effective use of space – increasing throughput and accuracy with the same lab footprint as before. Laboratory design plays an important role in making lab spaces more accessible and efficient for scientists. This is vital as the UK strives to become a life science leader, of a sector aiming to increase productivity, have the flexibility to scale, and bring products to market at pace...
Blood clot researchers could benefit from a new device that mimics a human vein, replacing the need for animals for some studies. The vein-on-a-chip model has been developed by scientists at the University of Birmingham and can be used in experiments to understand mechanisms of blood clot formation. The device, described in a recent paper published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, is a tiny channel, which includes structures called ‘valves’ that ensure the correct direction of blood flow...
Waters™ Corporation has announced it has completed its acquisition of Wyatt Technology, a pioneer and well-recognized leader in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories, and services.
