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 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. Nanoplastic particles have proven challenging to separate and characterize using traditional techniques such as dynamic light scattering or size exclusion chromatography...
World Precision Instruments has introduced a series of Micro Fine Mesh Baskets which are ideal for washing or sterilizing very small parts. The series of baskets consists of many sizes from 40 x 40 x 20 mm up to 180 x 130 x 20 mm. The Micro Fine baskets are constructed with micro fine mesh with opening squares of 1.0 mm and wire diameter of 0.5 mm....
Widely proven to handle flows from laminar to turbulent (2 ml/min to 20 litres/min), and largely immune from viscosity, the Atrato ultrasonic flowmeter is a perfect non-invasive tool for almost any laboratory flow metering application. No moving parts mean that the Atrato delivers highly reliable operation even over extended periods of time....
Breakthrough research has revealed a new drug that may prevent the spread of malaria, and also treat people suffering with the deadly parasitic disease. The findings, which were delivered by an international team of scientists led by the University of Glasgow and published in Science, offer fresh hope in the global fight against malaria...
