The system uses known probe particles and purpose-designed electrode to calculate surface zeta potential....
In laboratories as well as in the industrial sector, a pH meter is often required to measure the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions. The hydrogen-ion activity is indicative of a solution’s acidity or alkalinity, which is expressed as pH. The right pH electrode must be selected carefully in line with the measured medium as it will be directly in contact with it. The PCE-228 has been part of PCE Instruments’ product range for many years now, with several extra probes apart from the pH probe....

The health and balance of the gut microbiota is important in the progression of a bacterial infection, according to new research. A new study, led by the University of Glasgow and published in Nature Communications, found that disease-causing bacteria were taking signals from the host’s gut microbiota in order to spread and progress the infection. Using Citrobacter, a bacterium that infects mice and is a model for the human pathogen, E. coli, researchers were able to see that the bacteria were using signals produced from the microbiota to trigger the disease...
