Leica Microsystems, a leader in microscopy and scientific instrumentation, has entered into a partnership with Applied Scientific Instrumentation (ASI) to commercialize single-objective light-sheet microscopy. The advanced system was unveiled for the first time at Cell Bio 2022 and uniquely combines gentle imaging, conventional sample preparation and high-speed volumetric imaging to capture fast dynamics in three dimensions...
When cancer is detected at an early stage, the rates of survival increase drastically, but today only a few cancer types are screened for. An international study led by researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that a new, previously untested method can easily find multiple types of newly formed cancers at the same time – including cancer types that are difficult to detect with comparable methods...
AMSBIO offers a wide range of small molecules to provide scientists with targeted tools to direct cell fates, making them crucial in areas including regenerative medicine and cancer research. Small molecules are cell-permeable organic compounds with low molecular weights, which are chemically produced, in contrast to larger molecules such as proteins which are often produced via biological means...
From 9 to 11 May next year, LABVOLUTION 2023 in Hannover will demonstrate its development into a new hub for the topics of laboratory digitalization, artificial intelligence and sustainability. As a recognized trade fair for laboratory equipment and automation, LABVOLUTION reflects the events of the past years in a special way: The Corona pandemic caused a forced hiatus of the event in 2021 and, at the same time, significantly shorter innovation cycles for the industries that traditionally present themselves at LABVOLUTION...
