The proven particle sizer ANALYSETTE 28 ImageSizer in combination with the NEW automatic and powerful wet dispersion is especially suitable for fine particles, poorly flowing, fine-agglomerating or sticky materials that do not react in water or other liquids. For perfect dispersion the sample material is fed into a closed liquid circulation system and is pumped with high power through the measuring cell between camera and LED strobe light....
TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K reports that its popular Liquid Chromatography Flowmeter is being used to determine accurate flow rate calibration data from HPLC pumps in just a few minutes. To maintain consistent accuracy of results, each and every HPLC pump needs calibration of the flow rate it delivers on a regular base. The traditional method of calibrating HPLC pump flow rate relies upon a gravimetric method...
Dotmatics Ltd, a scientific informatics software and services company that is driving the automation of laboratory data workflows for scientific discovery and innovation research, today announced it has been selected by Croda International Plc to implement its Research and Development (R&D) digital program. Croda is the name behind the high-performance ingredients and technologies in some of the biggest, most successful brands in the world...
Biotium, a leading supplier and inventor of fluorescent cellular probes for life science research, announces the release of new ExoBrite™ EV Membrane Staining Kits. These kits are designed for fluorescent staining of exosomes or extracellular vesicles (EVs) with little to no background. ExoBrite™ EV Membrane Stains are validated for flow cytometry, but also have potential applications in super-resolution imaging or other exosome detection platforms....
Later this year, on stand B72 at Lab Innovations, British autoclave manufacturer Priorclave, is expected to reveal details of entirely new research and laboratory grade autoclave ranges. The company will continue to produce small benchtop models from 40L capacity to large 850L capacity chamber autoclaves. However, within the various new developments, each range will have more features and benefits that come as standard....
Autoscribe Informatics has announced the release of a LIMS specifically optimized for Covid testing. The Matrix Covid LIMS is pre-configured for fast deployment into laboratories performing Covid testing. The solution has already been deployed in several clinical diagnostic laboratories to drive efficiency and aid identification of Covid positive cases in the fight against the global pandemic....
Are you plagued with poor peak shapes, low sensitivities, sample carry over and/or low recoveries for challenging compounds. Several substances are able to interact with the usual inert column hardware materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The adsorption on metallic surfaces typically leads to peak tailing, loss of recovery and sample carry over. Critical substances are especially metal-coordinating compounds, such as fumonisins, sphingophospholipids or organophosphates in general....
The European Laboratory Research & Innovation Group (ELRIG) UK has announced the programme details for Drug Discovery 2021, which will take place at the Exhibition Centre ACC in Liverpool, UK, from 19–20 October. The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS), a US-based organisation dedicated to advancing life sciences discovery, technology and collaboration, will host its popular Innovation AveNEW to showcase emerging innovations and companies....
A new photocatalytic treatment based on titanium dioxide has been implemented by Telstar inside their biological safety cabinets, designed to operate with risk 1, 2 and 3 biological agents (viruses and bacteria or infectious material).
