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.

The German National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg and Protagen AG today announced a collaboration to utilize Protagen’s SeroTag® technology to identify biomarkers that predict therapy responsiveness and the detection of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in melanoma patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors.
Checkpoint inhibitors offer great potential for the treatment of many indications, including melanoma. Yet, only a subset of patients respond favorably to such treatment and it is not currently possible to predict who will benefit from the therapy in clinical routine. In addition, checkpoint inhibitors also trigger immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs) and even the onset of autoimmune diseases....
