The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most urgent infectious disease challenges the world has faced in recent history. Presently, few treatment options exist, therefore, the need to evaluate neutralizing antibodies to fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus is at an all-time high. Current screening methods to identify circulating SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies including the plaque reduction neutralization assay and other live virus cell based tests are inefficient and can require multiple days to complete.,,,
The COVID-19 crisis has led to unparalleled pressure on labs to ramp up capacity for SARS-CoV-2 testing. INTEGRA’s electronic pipettes, pipetting robots and other instruments have helped many labs tackle this challenge of increasing testing capacity while, at the same time, enhancing the reproducibility of results. VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipettes are ideal for transferring patient samples from individual collection tubes – either blood collection or swab tubes – to microplates in serological and PCR testing workflows...

Inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and minimising the threat of cross-contamination is vital in hygiene critical areas within agricultural, pharmaceutical, food processing, educational and health care laboratories. Bacteria commonly encountered in these areas are capable of prolonged survival on most surfaces, in optimal conditions they can reproduce every twenty minutes, spreading rapidly where they dwell....
SPL Guard introduces a new rack thawing station called the SPL Guard Florida—the fastest rack thawing solution on the market. With the SPL Guard Florida, researchers can thaw multiple racks at once in a controlled setting, keeping up with the ever-increasing need to process samples faster while maintaining sample integrity. The SPL Guard Florida can thaw up to 10 racks in as little as 9 minutes and can be used as a stand-alone system or integrated into a robotic workstation like a liquid handler...

In this unique new five-part weekly webinar series, Molecular Devices scientists will introduce you to various aspects of microplate reader technology in an educational and entertaining way. Starting with some basic concepts, they will explain a number of ‘urban myths’ or misconceptions each week - as well as introducing a variety of theories and technologies – ultimately enabling you to fully understand the choices you make when writing protocols, choosing a new microplate reader or optimizing an existing assay.
The seemingly effortless and instantaneous colour and iridescence changes displayed by octopuses, squid and cuttlefish is one of Nature’s most amazing sights. Now, researchers have discovered how to use the cephalopod proteins responsible for these changes to manipulate the optical refractive index (RI) of mammalian cellular compartments. By changing this intrinsic physical property of the cell, microscopists could soon be using the RIs of live cells as molecular probes...
Cytel Inc. has significantly widened the geographical scope of the TOGETHER trial, a unique study to identify early COVID-19 interventions in underserved low- and middle-income country (LMIC) populations. The trial, supported with seed funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is one of the very few studies investigating therapies at the earliest stages of COVID-19 infection, and is the only trial to explore early interventions in the Global South....
