The new scalable instrument and software platform enables production of even the most challenging sequences at the highest possible crude purity and yield. Scientists using peptides in development of novel therapeutics, biological research, or biomaterials development frequently work on long and difficult sequences, including modified cyclic peptides. These are particularly challenging to synthesize
A parasite, largely thought to be asexual, has been shown to reproduce sexually after scientists uncover clues hidden in its genomic code. Trypanosoma cruzi is the parasite responsible for Chagas Disease, found in Latin America. Around eight million people are currently infected by the disease, which can cause irreversible damage to the heart and digestive tract...
Agilent Technologies Inc., has announced that its instruments and expertise contributed to a groundbreaking study commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, or WADA. Researchers at Freie Universität Berlin used gas and liquid chromatography instruments, along with high-resolution mass spectrometry systems—all from Agilent—to study to the strength-building characteristics of ecdysterone, the main component of spinach extracts....
Merck, a leading science and technology company, presented Professor David Alsteens (33), Catholic University of Louvain (UCLovain), Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium with the 2019 Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award for Analytical Science. The award ceremony took place during the analytical conference Euroanalysis at Istanbul University in Turkey. “With his groundbreaking investigations revealing the molecular mechanisms established by viruses to hijack the cellular barrier and enter the cell....
JellaGel™, jellyfish collagen hydrogel, suitable for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering launches today to offer a solution to different challenges facing laboratory technicians. Jellyfish collagen constitutes an ancient chemical template of all collagens and is one of the main reasons JellaGel™ is a versatile hydrogel product. Jellagen has developed a unique manufacturing process, Jellatech™, that allows laboratory technicians to scale up the production of the material and also....

Agilent Technologies, Inc., has announced that Professor Hyun Joo An has received an Agilent Thought Leader Award in support of her work in glycomics and biopharmaceutical applications. Dr. Hyun Joo An is a professor at the Graduate School of Analytical Science and Technology, Chungnam National University, in Daejeon, South Korea....
NASA astronaut and physiologist James Pawelczyk will this week seek to address one of the profound questions vexing scientists and blocking our progress to colonize other planets: Does our human biology require Earth’s gravity to survive? All life we know evolved with Earth gravity. With plans for the first human base on the Moon in the next decade, and a Moon to Mars program to follow....
Samplix has announced the commercial launch of its Xdrop™ sample preparation products for PCR-free target enrichment yet maintaining PCR-level specificity. Xdrop™ enables single molecule resolution and bias free enrichment of genomic regions longer than 100 kb from as little as 1 ng genomic DNA. Xdrop™ fits seamlessly with any sequencing platform....
Researchers led by Prof. Johan Thevelein at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology, have discovered that Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast with probiotic properties, produces uniquely excessive amounts of acetic acid, the main component of vinegar. They were able to find the genetic basis for this trait, which allowed them to abolish the acetic acid production of the yeast....
Postnova Analytics has published a new application note that demonstrates the promise of Electrical Asymmetric Field Flow Fractionation (EAF4) technology for separation and characterization of nanoplastics in the environment.
