The Native Antigen Company, part of LGC Clinical Diagnostics and one of the world’s leading suppliers of reagents that enables research into diagnostics and vaccines for emerging and endemic infectious diseases, has announced the launch of its SARS-CoV-2 Neutralisation Assay Development Kit. The kit can be used to identify and qualitatively assess the ability of antibodies to neutralise SARS-CoV-2-receptor binding, to support research into variants and their effects on natural and vaccine-induced patient immunity....
Advanced MRI techniques may provide clues to how MS will progres. Research published in Brain1 has used new MRI techniques to show what is happening in the brains of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the early stages of their condition. Scientists say these previously unseen changes could have the potential to predict how disabled a person might become in the future....
Greiner Assistec is currently working with Accensors, an innoME GmbH business unit specializing in film sensor technology, on a development project aimed at creating printed sensor systems. The first milestone came in the form of a proof of concept for an intelligent petri dish. In Accensors, Greiner Assistec was able to bring a strong sensor technology partner on board. The aim of this strategic partnership is to offer future customers the option of buying thermoformed plastic parts with printed sensor systems...
PEAK Scientific have partnered with eForests, a not-for-profit organization who are creating and restoring woodlands throughout the UK, to fulfil their commitment to plant one tree for every PEAK gas generator sold from the 1st April 2021. The initiative is part of their continued efforts towards a more sustainable future which will complement their gas generators which already offer a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option to workplaces around the world...
Advanced Biological Laboratories (ABL) has announced the CE-IVD registration of its UltraGene® SARS-CoV-2 Triplex Assay, now available for in-vitro diagnostics use. This innovative test is a real-time RT-PCR test intended for the qualitative detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2and genomic variations on the Spike (S) gene and on the ORF1ab gene in upper respiratory specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider....
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a global leader of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, has announced the launch of the SARS-CoV-2 Variant RT-PCR Assays for research use only (RUO). The assays can detect SARS-CoV-2 (the virus associated with COVID-19) variants of concern, including P.1, B.1.351, and B.1.1.7, by distinguishing specific mutations in SARS-CoV-2 using reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) often prior to a next generation sequencing (NGS) workflow for confirmation....
Designed to improve efficiency, the AFYS3G Recapper for Screw Cap Tubes can be used as a stand-alone instrument or be simply integrated into a fully automated laboratory environment. This makes the recapper ideal for high throughput workflows, to scale-up sample processing for (COVID-19) testing or research, and to relieve researchers from repetitive manual labor. The Sigma96 can (de)cap a whole rack of sample storage tubes in 30 seconds in a single action....
A team of scientists at the University of Glasgow has identified two known cases of human-to-cat COVID-19 transmission in the UK. In the study, led by the University of Glasgow and published in the Veterinary Record, researchers describe two cases of human-to-cat SARS-CoV-2 transmission, found as part of a COVID-19 screening programme of the feline population in the UK....
Researchers have found that a natural molecule can effectively block the binding of a subset of human antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. The discovery may help explain why some COVID-19 patients can become severely ill despite having high levels of antibodies against the virus. In their research, published in Science Advances, teams from the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with researchers at Imperial College London, Kings College London and UCL (University College London), found that biliverdin and bilirubin...
