Genevac has published an informative customer article that reviews the development of a new sample preparation method using its EZ-2 centrifugal evaporator to help simplify and accelerate the detection and quantitation of algal toxins in surface water.

Due to a warming global environment there has been a rise in occurrences of cyanobacteria blooms in lakes which can generate cyanotoxins. With surface water a major source of drinking water, the presence of cyano bacterial blooms pose a potential threat to human health. Using Ultra-high Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) researchers have been able to...

Safe, accurate, reproducible and validatable sterilization.

Systec GmbH is a manufacturer of autoclaves (steam sterilizers), especially laboratory autoclaves, media preparators and dispensing devices for liquid media and microbiological culture media. Systec develops and manufactures, certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, a wide range of products for the modern laboratory, science and research as well as biotechnology, pharmacy, quality control and production.

The changing global scientific environment requires differentiated, reliable and reproducible materials to help provide precision, accuracy and consistency in current and next generation laboratory and analytical devices.

For laboratories with segregated loads waiting sterilisation each requiring their own unique process settings may cause serious delays and create unsafe bottlenecks within a laboratory or cleanroom if they only use a single autoclave. 

Such situations can be overcome with the new range of stackable autoclaves being introduced by British manufacturer Priorclave.  It brings greater versatility to autoclave usage with the ability to sterilise two distinct loads simultaneous, each with their own sterilisation control setting.

Enzymes catalyse reactions in biological processes and their presence in biological samples is of interest to a variety of Clinical, Industrial and Educational analysts. 

Several manufacturers offer test kits to enable determination of enzyme activity by Colorimetry.  The kits are designed so speed of reaction is dependent on enzyme concentration at a controlled temperature.  Whilst there are a wide variety of different enzymes, many kits use NADH, a co-enzyme which converts to NAD when reacted, to help determine the enzyme of interest; NADH adsorbs at 340nm and NAD does not.
