In This Category Industry news Research & Case Studies Latest news   New partnership between Malvern Instruments and RheoSense brings m-VROCi to industrial markets Mar 11, 2014 Malvern Instruments Ltd (Malvern, UK) has announced an exclusive global distribution agreement with RheoSense, Inc. (San Ramon, CA, USA) to promote, market, sell and support the VROC product range into industrial applications. The agreement enables Malvern to add the m-VROCi, microfluidic Viscometer/Rheometer On a Chip, to its existing portfolio of rotational and capillary rheometers, extending the company’s offering to industrial customers across the globe. Delivering accurate, robust, fully enclosed viscosity measurement, at high shear rates, the m-VROCi addresses an established need to measure low viscosity fluids under process relevant conditions. The results have proven application for the characterization and enhancement of inkjet inks, coatings, rechargeable batteries, lubricants, chemical and food additives, and drink formulations...   Chromium (VI) in toys – determination by ion chromatography Mar 11, 2014 Children are exposed to intakes of heavy metals from a wide variety of sources. Chromium (VI) in particular represents a potential hazard, as it is absorbed from food and drinking water, from the air that is breathed, from textiles, from utensils that contain metal and from toys. The analytical determination of chromium (VI) content in toys for compliance with limit values is described in the European standard DIN EN-71-3-2013 (Safety of toys Part 3 – Migration of certain elements). The standard differentiates between three categories, depending on the kind of toys...   Scientific Digital Imaging acquires Opus Instruments Limited Mar 10, 2014 Acquisition Of Opus Instruments  The Board of Scientific Digital Imaging plc, the AIM quoted group focused on the application of digital imaging technology to the needs of the scientific community, announces the acquisition of Opus Instruments Limited (“Opus”) from its founder shareholders for consideration of up to £1,325,000 payable in cash and shares. Opus is the manufacturer of the Osiris camera which the Board of SDI believes is the first camera for infrared reflectography to provide high resolution high speed images in a small portable camera...   SLAS Announces 2014 JALA & JBS Art of Science Contest Winner Mar 10, 2014 The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) announces that Tomasz Koprowski of the Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering in Zurich, Switzerland, is the grand prize winner of the 2014 JALA & JBS Art of Science Contest.   Nine finalists from six countries were selected from 60 entries. SLAS members and nonmembers then voted for their favorite finalists at SLAS.org. “Tree of Life” by Tomasz Koprowski captures C.elegans worms on a chunk of agar and as the top vote-getter and grand prize winner, Koprowski received a $500 Amazon gift card.  The eight other finalists each received a $25 Amazon gift card, and all finalists enjoyed 60 days free online access to the SAGE Pharmacology & Biomedical Collection...   Research shows Data Centre Space Take-up Jumps 18 Per Cent Mar 10, 2014 Research just released by GVA Connect, the data centre specialist division of property agents GVA, showed UK take-up of data centre space amounted to 830,000 square feet (gross retail area) in calendar year 2013.  “This represented an 18 per cent jump in data centre space take-up over the previous year,” said GVA Connect director Charles Carden, adding that the company expected take-up to remain at this level during 2014. Confirming London’s position as a leading international data centre hub, Carden revealed that over three quarters of the 2013 data centre take-up was within the so-called London Synchronous Locations (locations which deliver round-trip latency of under three milliseconds). The second most popular location was Manchester with the remainder of take-up spread across the UK...   Rhenovia Pharma secures Series B funding Mar 10, 2014 The company raises EUR 540,000 (USD 738,000) from historical shareholders to expand its staff Rhenovia, the world leader in biosimulation of the central nervous system, plans to raise a further EUR 2 million in 2014 to step up development in its three key markets of medicinal products, agrifood and neurotoxicity. Rhenovia Pharma, a biotechnology company specialized in the application of biosimulation to the research and development of new medicinal products, today announces that it has raised EUR 540,000 (USD 738,000) from its historical shareholders in a second round of funding. Founded in 2007, Rhenovia is the world leader in biosimulation of the central nervous system...   New webinar on use of micro bioreactors to mimic perfusion cultures Mar 7, 2014 Presents Validation Data for Improving Media Screening and Process Optimisation TAP Biosystems, a leading supplier of innovative cell culture and fermentation systems for life science applications, today announced that it will be co-presenting a new bioprocess webinar with Irvine Scientific, a major producer of cell culture media, on Wednesday March 12th 2014 at 9 am PST / 12 noon EST / 4 pm GMT.  The live event will detail how to use ambr™ automated micro bioreactor system in alternative semi-continuous modes to mimic perfusion cultures and how this can be used to save time with process optimisation and media screening...   Copley Scientific showcases extensive range of tablet testing equipment at Analytica 2014 Mar 7, 2014 Copley Scientific will focus on systems from the company’s comprehensive range of test equipment for  pharmaceutical solid dosage forms at Analytica 2014, which takes place  from 1– 4 April 2014 in Munich, Germany. On show will be the Dissolution Tester DIS 8000, a rugged unit with eight stirred test vessels that is ideal for both R&D and routine QC applications. Like all Copley Scientific tablet dissolution testers it meets the latest specifications of the US, European and other pharmacopoeias. With automation an increasing requirement, Copley Scientific’s Dissofract ‘Off-Line’ Dissolution Sampling System will be shown with the DIS 8000....   Molecular diagnostics: DiaSorin marks significant growth in molecular extraction kit sales Mar 7, 2014 Italian Voden Medical Instruments S.p.A. awarded DiaSorin Platinum Distributor status The Milan-based Life Science Division of Voden Medical Instruments S.p.A. has been awarded DiaSorin Platinum Distributor status in recognition of their outstanding contribution to sales of the DiaSorin Arrow instrument and molecular extraction kits throughout Italy.  Meeting the specific needs of HLA (human leukocyte antigen) testing laboratories, assessing tissue compatibility in organ transplant patients, the Arrow Blood DNA extraction kit has shown particular growth and completes the Voden product offering for this important molecular investigation...   Two new weapons in the battle against bacteria - alternative approaches to antibiotics development Mar 6, 2014 Two new weapons in the battle against bacteria Proteases are vital proteins that serve for order within cells. They break apart other proteins, ensuring that these are properly synthesized and decomposed. Proteases are also responsible for the pathogenic effects of many kinds of bacteria. Now chemists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) have discovered two hitherto unknown mechanisms of action that can be used to permanently disarm an important bacterial protease. Proteins are made up of a chain of amino acids and are vital for all cell processes..   Chemical reactions in artificial cell-scale systems show surprising diversity Mar 6, 2014 Chemical reactions in artificial cell-scale systems show surprising diversity: The thousand-droplets test In future, an entire chemistry lab could be accommodated in a tiny little droplet. While simple reactions already work in these simplest models of an artificial cell now a group of scientists of the Cluster of Excellence Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) have established and investigated for the first time a complex biochemical system. They discovered a surprising diversity. An almost infinite number of complex and interlinked reactions take place in a biological cell. In order to be able to better investigate these networks, scientists led by Professor Friedrich Simmel, Chair of Systems Biophysics and Nano Biophysics at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) try to replicate them with the necessary components in a kind of artificial cell...   more articles >>
