Merck, a leading science and technology company, has introduced its BrightLab™ cloud-based inventory management and instrument connectivity platform for research scientists. The new software includes an electronic lab notebook, which allows scientists and lab managers to track and update experiments from any computer or mobile device. “In today’s research environment, analog methods of documentation and analysis often take us away from the research itself....
Paradigm tips administer a virtually clean sample release, guaranteeing that you’ll spend minimal time waiting for the last drop to fall from the tip. Maintain complete control, even when you’re working with smaller volumes, without compromising the accuracy of your pipetting. The innovation begins with a proprietary resin that ensures the sample will not bind to the tip so it is dispensed completely...
INTEGRA's new ECO Racks help you to reduce plastic consumption and save recycling space. Available for standard 12.5 to 1250 μl GripTips – in both 96 and 384 tip configurations – these racks contain 60 % less plastic, while maintaining the high standards that you expect from INTEGRA products. Combining ECO Racks with INTEGRA’s one-of-a-kind PopTop base provides you with a stable, comfortable and convenient pipetting experience....
Aelian Biotechnology combines CRISPR/Cas9 screening techniques with single-cell sequencing to identify and investigate disease targets and drug mechanisms of action. Aelian’s novel platform is applicable across a wide range of cell types, including primary cells, and broadens access to a wider range of complex phenotypes. Under the terms of the license from ERS Genomics, Aelian is now able to offer its technology worldwide to pharmaceutical and biotech companies seeking more effective therapies....
Uniquely shaped red blood cells observed for the first time in patient blood could be breakthrough in diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). Although the three-dimensional (3-D) shape of erythrocytes is strongly associated with various malignant blood disorders, conventional optical imaging approaches only provide information on two-dimensional morphology. Now, a Korean research team has used the Tomocube holotomography microscope to observe uniquely shaped red blood cells (RBCs) for the first time....
Hamilton Storage introduces the LabElite® DeFroster for automated removal of frost that may form on tube racks while in frozen storage. In this hands-free format, a single rack is automatically drawn into one end of the unit where mechanical brushes and a liquid solvent effectively remove frost in under 10 seconds before sending it out the opposite end. The DeFroster greatly reduces time and effort spent on the repetitive and labor-intensive process of manually removing frost....
Porvair Sciences announce Microluteä PLR - a new benchmark product for phospholipid removal. The 96-well microplate provides effective removal (>99%) of phospholipids and proteins with higher levels of reproducibility from plasma and serum samples while maintaining maximum recovery of target analytes. Phospholipid-based matrix effects are a major source of variability and inaccuracy in bioanalytical mass spectrometry (MS) analysis....
LGC’s SeraCare Life Sciences, a manufacturer and leading partner to global in vitro diagnostic manufacturers and clinical laboratories, is announcing the development of molecular reference materials for coronavirus utilizing their proprietary AccuPlex™ recombinant technology. The control material is being produced in collaboration with several diagnostic manufacturers to support development, evaluation, and validation of molecular test methods directed to 2019-nCoV....
