The FRITSCH Variable Speed Rotor Mill PULVERISETTE 14 grinds rapid and effectively soft to medium-hard, brittle as well as fibrous samples. Even the comminution of samples, which are difficult to grind or temperature-sensitive samples and plastics are no problem for the PULVERISETTE 14 due to its very efficient air cooling....
The instrument has the capability of running up to 4 flow sensors simultaneously with real time analysis. The software interface permits a wide operating envelope allowing OEM products to be developed for 0.5 to 20mm pipes including in-line and clamp-on devices. The structure is such that software changes can be simply “dragged and dropped” into a box in the interface permitting remote on-board logic updating and...
This is significant since with such sensitivity, it paves the way for the possibility of using a simple blood test to screen and diagnose different cancers, as well as monitor the efficacy of anti-cancer therapies. Following work undertaken by the Swansea-based team earlier this year, which successfully detected circulating free DNA (cfDNA) mutations from melanoma patients using PointMan, further studies were carried out on...
Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, tested the effectiveness of a genetically engineered version of the virus used to vaccinate against smallpox. They found use of the virus alongside isolated limb perfusion chemotherapy – given directly to blood vessels supplying the affected arm or leg as an alternative to amputation – was more effective in rats than either treatment on its own. The study, published in the...
The compact MiniVap is simple to operate and requires minimal ongoing maintenance. To install - a MiniVap requires only connection to a gas supply and standard mains socket. Safety of operation is ensured as the CE marked unit fits into all fume cupboards. Offering manual fine control of needle depth, gas temperature and flow rate - the affordably priced MiniVap can be easily optimised to produce faster drying times than other entry level lab evaporators. MiniVap takes just minutes to...

The modular design of the OxyletPro allows for a simple expandability of the system as needs change and grow. Special configurations are available for calorimetry studies with neonate rat pups as well as exercise physiology studies with single lane, airtight treadmills. Rearing assessment can be made by adding an accessory infrared (IR) frame... 
Drawing upon the knowledge of skilled engineers and optical designers – Optical Surfaces is able to provide an optical mount design service that delivers an optimised solution for your application. Typical custom modifications include mounts for non-circular optical components and for supporting larger diameter optics (> 600mm). Various motorised mount options are also available to suit applications in hostile environments ...
The work was performed at Heptares Therapeutics, a leading drug discovery and development company using TTP Labtech’s innovative liquid handling technology for lipidic cubic phase crystallography (mosquito LCP). Dr Andy Doré, Head of Crystallography at Heptares Therapeutics and joint first author of the recent article in Nature, stated, "the mosquito LCP was used for all crystallisation setups of the mGlu5-StaR resulting in us...
Often in ultra high-speed imaging, it is difficult to synchronize your camera to the event that you are trying to record and analyze. Using the very flexible multiple triggering capability of SIM cameras you can actually capture frames prior to the trigger. In this way SIM Ultra Fast Framing Cameras take the 'black magic' out of synchronizing camera and event allowing you to spend more time on capturing research data rather than setting up your experiment...
OSL reflective beam expanders are aspheric mirror-based devices offering either beam expansion or reduction capabilities. Incorporating high precision off-axis mirrors, OSL reflective beam expanders provide an unobstructed output and highly efficient transmission. By comparison, due to dispersion, lens-based beam expanders are only capable of compensating for focus at one wavelength of light, making them only suitable for...
Francesco Simone Ruggeri is a member of the Doctoral Program in the group of Professor Giovanni Dietler, head of the Laboratory of the Physics of Living Matter at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The research activity of the laboratory of physics of living matter is mainly devoted to the study of DNA topology, cellular machines, protein mechanics and high-resolution low temperature Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)...
ZEISS Microscopy announces that it will be demonstrating its new ZEISS Crossbeam Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) at M&M 2014, August 3-7 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT. ZEISS Crossbeam FIB-SEM increases throughput using a high beam current of up to 100 nA. While milling samples at unprecedented precision at all currents, users acquire images and analytical data in up to...
This model has a 5 program memory fitted as standard, giving the user the flexibility to switch the highly effective sterilising process easily from vacuum assisted to non-vacuum dependent on load. Effective sterilisation to destroy micro-organisms requires direct contact between the saturated steam and every surface of the load. The presence of air in the load can prevent direct contact with micro-organisms which are held...
As costs for energy and raw materials continue to rise, it becomes more critical for chemists to be able to mimic a reaction or to quantify the parameters required to produce a final product without the difficulty and expense of using production facilities. To be able to recreate a production process on a lab bench is therefore highly desirable for many chemists. The Magritek Spinsolve high-resolution benchtop NMR spectrometer is a...
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a technique used to detect interactions between proteins and DNA, and is based on the enrichment of DNA associated with a specific protein of interest. Combining ChIP with massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) allows the accurate survey of interactions between proteins and DNA, enabling the study of epigenetic marks which is essential for a full understanding of...
