The state-of-the-art Thermo Scientific TSX Series Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Freezers have been fully upgraded to include additional functionality to provide research, pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical, biorepository and industrial laboratories with safeguards to deliver environmentally sustainable protection of materials, such as vaccines, cell culture media, biologics and reagents...
Scientists have identified a new class of targeted cancer drugs that offer the potential to treat patients whose tumours have faulty copies of the BRCA cancer genes. The drugs, known as POLQ inhibitors, specifically kill cancer cells with mutations in the BRCA genes while leaving healthy cells unharmed. And crucially, they can kill cancer cells that have become resistant to PARP inhibitors – an existing treatment for patients with BRCA mutations....
FreeLIMS announces the release of a secure, configurable LIMS for agriculture and farming, available at no charge, for agriculture testing laboratories across the globe. It enables agriculture testing laboratories to manage data, improve data quality by reducing manual errors, deliver accurate and quick test results, and improve workflow standardization with ease. FreeLIMS also enables agriculture laboratories to overcome day-to-day challenges, such as managing and tracking samples...
To address the weighing needs of food, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical industry customers who seek advanced durability, along with reliable precision, OHAUS has launched the new line of Defender 6000 Extreme Washdown Bench Scales. For years, OHAUS Defender bench scales have been preferred by operators in processing and packaging environments for their remarkable durability, precision, and versatility....
Australian National Phenome Centre Integrates Quantitative NMR and MS Assay Platform for Risk Assessment and Longitudinal Monitoring of Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS).

A new white paper, written by scientists at Liverpool ChiroChem (LCC), describes how the Asynt Illumin8 parallel photoreactor is being used to synthesise a range of new 2-Aryl N-Heterocycles. The discovery of a novel enantioselective synthetic pathway for reduction of pyridines to the corresponding chiral piperidines led to the formation of LCC in 2014. Since inception, LCC have enhanced their expertise enabling them to provide leading scientific organisations with access to chirally-pure compounds that play their part in small molecule drug discovery....
Whilst commonly used air displacement pipettes are highly accurate for most pipetting applications, their performance is adversely affected by the physical properties of the solutions handled, such as viscosity, volatility, surface tension and temperature. However, positive displacement pipettes like Gilson's ergonomic MICROMAN® E and Capillary Pistons (CPs) work differently, and volume delivery is unaffected by the nature of the sample...
