Borealis™ from Uniqsis is a new high intensity LED lamp unit, available in a range of fixed wavelengths (370, 410, 440, 460 and 520nm), that converts their Cold Coil™ standalone reactor module into a flow reactor for photochemical applications. Both the Borealis™ LED lamp and the Cold Coil™ reactor modules require liquid cooling from either a piped water supply or a closed loop recirculator...
Get to know the significant advantages of YMC-Triart Bio C4! This new application note shows why this stationary phase is the ideal choice for the analysis of cyclic peptides. These compounds are highly valuable drug candidates since their cyclic ring structure provides various advantages over their linear counterpart. This is the reason why they are increasingly becoming the focus in biopharmaceutical research...
Ivor Campbell discusses recruitment challenges within UK diagnostics industry. Ivor Campbell is Managing Director of Stirlingshire-based Snedden Campbell, a search company for the medical technology industry. Even before the Covid pandemic struck there were signs of significant growth in the UK in vitro diagnostics industry. 2019, the last year for which figures are available, saw its market increase by 3.1%, compared with a rise of just 0.3% in France and a fall of 0.4% in Germany, its nearest competitors...
Indica Labs, a leading provider of computational pathology software and services, is proud to announce that following ISO13485 certification, HALO AP® has received a CE Mark for use in primary diagnosis within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK.

AMSBIO has announced new additions to its portfolio of tools for COVID-19 research - two monoclonal antibodies that recognize the Spike RBD (B.1.1.529, Omicron Variant) protein and neutralizes its interaction with ACE2. The human ACE2 receptor is found on the surface of type I and II pneumocytes, endothelial cells, and ciliated bronchial epithelial cells. Research has shown that ACE2 mediates COVID-19 infection through direct binding of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein....
Nigel Whittle, head of medical & healthcare at Plextek looks at how artificial intelligence is shedding new light on novel therapeutics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing and impacting many different medical sectors and helping to solve problems that have challenged experts for years.
