A new study has shown the power of genetic testing to pick out the best drugs for children with cancer to extend and improve their lives – signalling a new era of precision medicine for young patients. The pilot including more than 200 children found that half had gene mutations that are targetable by adult cancer drugs that are either available as standard treatment or via clinical trials....
Dynamic SIMS provides localized elemental and isotopic characterization of a sample over depths ranging from nanometers to tens of micrometers. First commercialized by CAMECA in the early 1960s, SIMS involves bombarding the surface of a sample with a focused ion beam and collecting the ejected secondary ions that are representative of the sample surface composition. SIMS consists of analyzing these secondary ions with a mass spectrometer....

What’s the difference between High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ion Chromatography (IC)? What are the capabilities and limitations of each technique? Knowing these differences can actually make a huge difference. As a proven, robust and highly versatile technique, IC can help HPLC users extend their analytical capabilities tremendously. Our free white paper compares the two methods systematically focusing on the strengths of ion chromatography....
The combination of speed controlled VARIO chemistry diaphragm pumps and the new VACUU·SELECT vacuum controller makes the VARIO select chemistry pumps the ideal solution for chemical processes that require precise vacuum, such as rotary evaporation, vacuum drying or vacuum concentration...
The space occupied by a drug molecule in three dimensions, and how it fits into the target, is an important consideration when designing a new compound that might become a drug. Medicinal chemists commonly use 3D rendering software to visualise the shape of molecules by creating chemical structures they can rotate on a flat computer screen using a mouse or trackpad. But what if they could manipulate them in three dimensions instead, while still being able to see and interact with their colleagues?...
