Radleys explores and looks into how automation is making a significant difference to labs, offering a variety of benefits. It is arguable that we are currently in the midst of an automation revolution. Most things are becoming digitised and everywhere you turn, it seems that technology is doing a job once reserved for a human. From the self-service checkout at the supermarket, to the maps app on your smartphone; some things are now so ingrained in our everyday lives....

Asynt has developed a novel high-pressure reactor array that integrates directly with their Integrity 10 Reaction Station, enabling scientists to undertake up to 10 independently pressurised reactions (up to 100 barg) in parallel. The Integrity 10 Reaction Station is designed to carry out parallel reactions, each with independent temperature control between -30 °C and +150 °C, making it perfect for Design of Experiments (DoE) testing....
Scientists have reported an effective and environmentally sustainable way to block the transmission of mosquito-borne dengue virus, in trials carried out in Malaysia. Using a strain of the bacteria Wolbachia, which inhibit mosquitoes from transmitting viruses to humans, researchers at the Universities of Glasgow and Melbourne and the Institute for Medical Research in Malaysia were successfully able to reduce cases of dengue at sites in Kuala Lumpur...
Fluidic Analytics Ltd, experts in protein analysis and the company behind in-solution diffusional sizing, launches a breakthrough innovation at PEGS Europe Protein and Antibody Engineering Summit which was held 18-22 November 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Rapid 3D imaging and in-depth structural analysis opens up quality monitoring and spermatozoa selection for artificial insemination in humans and animals. A key determinant for success in artificial insemination for humans and animals is the quality of the spermatozoa. However, current 2D label-free imaging methods can only detect abnormal spermatozoa with significant morphological changes or incomplete structures and are unable to provide information on their internal structure or composition....
