With years of advancement and accumulation, Creative BioMart has become a new protein engineering service “portal”. Creative Biomart has strong expertise in de novo gene synthesis that allows us to synthesize complex protein libraries without any dramatic increase in cost

Protein engineering is a new approach. Currently it has been widely used by researchers for the studies, such as protein structure, creation of new material, finding target, function mechanism, combination of new protein with preset features and others. In the future, more detailed knowledge of protein structure and function, as well as advancements in high-throughput technology, may greatly expand the capabilities of protein engineering. Eventually, even unnatural amino acids may be incorporated thanks to the new method that allows the inclusion of novel amino acids in the genetic code.

The debut edition of Forensics Europe Expo takes place this 24-25 April 2013 at London’s Olympia venue. But what’s the thinking behind the show’s launch, and what can visitors expect to gain from attending? Event director Phillip Hunter provides the details

The landscape for the forensics industry has changed considerably in recent times. Up until March 2012, the vast majority of forensic testing in the UK was done by the government’s Forensic Science Service. When the government took the decision to close the service last year, the model for the industry changed massivelyfor good. It’s now an open and free market, and the challenge is to ensure that the facilities used by people like the police and the legal sector are accredited and up to standard...

Carbolite, a leading manufacturer of furnaces and ovens, will exhibit a wide range of products for laboratory heat testing applications at ArabLab and Pittcon in 2013

At Powtech 2013 (23-25 April, Nürnberg, Germany), the team from Freeman Technology, the powder characterisation specialists, will present new research on the impact of humidity on powders, a topic of significant interest to many powder processors

A newly developed prion seeding assay called Real-Time Quaking Induced Conversion assay (RT-QuIC) now permits researchers to measure prion seeding at lower levels and in less than a few days in standard 96 well microplates

In contrast, animal bioassays, though they are sensitive enough, are more expensive and much slower—they can take years to complete. RT-QuIC is a sensitive, fast, and high throughput improvement on the previously employed methods of quaking-induced conversion (QuIC) (Atarashi 2008) and amyloid seeding assay (ASA) (Colby 2007)...
